As we-three standing group members - value communication and the use of this blog so much in this project, i will appeal to the Administrator to help us find solution to Lekan's login details problem.

For quite a couple of weeks, Lekan has been complaining of inability to login to blog in this group's blog page. The error message has been notifying him that he has been blocked by the administrator.

Sir, if he has been blocked for any reason in the past, please unblock him now and allow him to have access to the blog page.

Thank you for urgent attention and solution.

Dalista Kubalasa, well done and please carry everybody along in this project. We are very familiar with internet and i am connected 24hours now.

Thank you all.

Problem Statement
Most countries in Africa are having divergent experiences all of which have one thing in common, 'dealing with common problems and constraints' as they seek to achieve effective public service delivery, aimed at reducing poverty and making the livelihoods of the citizens (the rights' bearers) much more dignified. Best practices and success stories in the way such service delivery is attained by the duty bearers through the various policy decision-making processes still remain focused on the national level processes around the budget, but also they still remain hidden in the confines of individual public and private institutions in these countries.

Questions are raised then with respect to this notion of tapping as much as can be mustered for that wealth of experience with a particular focus on the Government - Civil Society Dialogue and Advocacy, to usher the policy processes that should benefit Africa., Some of these are as follows;

(a) Is there anything to exchange in a mutual learning among countries and or between Africa and Latin-American countries?
(b) Is there any effective way of operationalising this shared learning and the peer-to-peer learning and mentoring of participatory budgeting and government/civil society dialogue and advocacy?
(c) How did Brazil get to the stage it is today on participatory budget (starting point, constraints in the beginning, let alone how the government buying into has been nurtured thus far, etc.)?

These are some of questions acting as driving force for our pilot engagement of peer institutions in Participatory Budgeting across West, East and Southern Africa on government dialogue and advocacy.
