Fundamentals of Public Participation
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Public Participation is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through intergovernmental relations and audit action planning without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because officials are held personally accountable under legislation many have never been trained on, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with municipal budgeting, irregular expenditure and records management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where municipal budgeting is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the Municipal Systems Act
- Bring irregular expenditure into line with current good practice
- Explain records management to someone who does not do the work
- Take ownership of public participation rather than escalating it
