for Pneumonia and ORS - Zinc as treatment for childhood diarrheal diseases
4. Nutrition
Budget analysis and budget tracking is a key component of the work of the
PACFaH NGOs. Data from budget analysis and tracking is expected to be
used by the NGOs as the evidence base for claims, arguments and demands
during advocacy visits. Advocacy visits are expected to take place at
national and state levels.

or consider any of the commitments below –

16. BUDGET MONITORING & EVALUATION
NGOs can focus on whether
amounts for specific projects,
such as a school or a road,
have been used for the
intended purpose.
They also can assess the quality
of the spending to see if the
policy goals associated with
the budget allocation are
being met, and if government
funds are being used
effectively.
BUDGET EXECUTION:
IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING, &
CONTROL
This budget stage presents a
valuable opportunity for
budget groups to obtain
information on the
effectiveness of particular
budget initiatives, as well as to
advance accountability.
When available in a timely
manner, audit reports often
document a litany of mis-
expenditure, mal-expenditure,
and procurement irregularities.
NGOs should attempt to
spread such information widely
and use it to advance reforms.
