Welcome to CBGAThere has been a growing recognition of the important role that civil society organisations in the country can play, not only to strengthen the system of accountability of the government towards elected people's representatives but also to make the government accountable to people themselves. It is this aspiration to strengthen governance accountability in the country, which has motivated the efforts of Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability (CBGA) since its inception. Started in 2002 as a programme of National Centre for Advocacy Studies, CBGA was registered as an independent organisation in 2005. It promotes transparent, participatory and accountable governance, and a people-centred perspective in the policies shaping up the government budgets. CBGA's research on public policies and budgets, over the last eight years, has focused on the priorities underlying budgets, quality of government interventions in the social sector, responsiveness of budgets to disadvantaged sections of population and structural issues in India's fiscal federalism. Research on these issues has laid the foundation for CBGA's efforts pertaining to training and capacity building on budgets and policy advocacy with important stakeholders.
