Stakeholder Consultations by Other Committees
Two other Portfolio Committees will be holding stakeholder consultations around the country. These will be aimed specifically at particular target audiences, as indicated below, but are also open to all interested citizens.
The objective of the consultations is to receive input from the target audiences for the 2017 National Budget. The information gathered will be considered by the committees and will form part of their presentations to the Minister of Finance and Economic Development at the Pre-Budget Seminar and to the National Assembly itself. These consultations have real potential for stakeholders, through the Committee, to influence the 2017 National Budget priorities and the economic policy direction.
