In addition the course will emphasize how to ensure the budget mobilizes and motivates the contribution of both the community and the private sector. Given that each country has their own internal budgetary processes the course is not intended to replace or change existing systems but rather to complement and improve the overall municipal budgeting experience. Africa Municipal News Magazine. The objective of this monthly news magazine is to ensure the good news of successful municipal governance is known throughout Africa. In addition, the news magazine will present lessons learned from past practice and emphasize how to avoid errors and mistakes. The Magazine intends to give voice to municipal government in Africa ensuring local governments are linked through knowledge and good news.

Each municipal association will be invited to partici- 5 pate, ensuring relevance and impact. A summary of the program will be prepared in written form and will be posted in partner home pages as well as sent as a news release to national and local journalists in order to foster local dissemination.
