The Budget Justice Coalition (BJC) is a coalition of civil society organisations that aims to collaboratively build people’s participation in and understanding of South Africa’s budget and planning processes.
We’re a people-powered coalition fighting to make public money work for public good.
Keeping budget advocacy top of minds with policy makers.
The national budget is a macroeconomic tool that could alleviate poverty, inequality and unemployment, the triple challenge that South African faces. But often, the budget doesn’t represent the needs of communities. The BJC advocacy bridges the gap between decision makers in National Treasury and people on the ground.
