Bhutan has continued to make progress in the quality of its budget reporting. However, there is significant room for improvement. This one-week workshop is designed to build on progress registered to date, strengthening the authorities' understanding of the documents as tools to promote effective policy, communication, transparency, and accountability. The course will combine theoretical and practical training, taking Bhutan's most recent budget document as the starting point.  It will also explore the concept of developing the narrative around a fiscal objective.
