Accountability and Monitoring of Public Resources in Songea

The training contributed to knowledge about their roles and responsibilities of participating in local government development programs, understanding the concept of youth engagement in the decision making process, provided social media training on reporting and specific advocacy techniques. The training also brought to the fore several challenges which were identified and discussed by the participants: lack of knowledge on budget processes at local government authorities, gap of communication and relationship between youth and LGAs in Songea, and lack of platforms to discuss or engage in. Youth were also urged to participate in the local government meetings.
