🏛️ When young teachers and activists in Jordan submitted policy demands to improve education, something crucial was missing — an understanding of how the national budget actually worked. This powerful testimonial from Hani Awad, a teacher and youth activist, reveals how budget literacy training through the Arab Network for Civic Education (ANHRE) and supported by the International Budget Partnership transformed the way youth advocates engage with government. 💰 Before the training, demands were disconnected from financial reality; afterwards, advocates could analyze the Ministry of Education's budget, understand year-on-year changes, and build realistic cases for increased education investment. 🌍 Featuring insights from civil society leader Abeer and education expert Dr. Okaliy, this story from Jordan — part of IBP's COAB program in the MENA region — demonstrates how fiscal literacy is not just a technical skill but a tool of civic power. 🎯 Essential viewing for youth advocates, civil society practitioners, and policymakers committed to bridging the gap between citizen demands and government budgets. 🏛️ Press play and discover how understanding the budget gives young people the power to be heard. ✨ 📊 Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: Jordan's Youth and Education Demands 00:30 - Hani Awad: The Gap Between Youth Voices and Government Response 01:30 - Discovering ANHRE and Budget Literacy Training 02:30 - Abeer: ANHRE's Role in Civic and Budget Education 03:30 - How the Workshop Changed Advocacy Approaches 05:00 - Dr. Okaliy: Why Youth Budget Knowledge Matters 05:45 - Abeer: Building Inclusive Education Policy 06:30 - Hani: A Vision for Education and Future Generations ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ Explore More Resources ✨ 🔗 IBP's Work in the MENA Region: https://internationalbudget.org/our-work/where-we-work/ 🔗 Arab Network for Civic Education (ANHRE): https://www.anhre.org/ 🔗 IBP's COAB Program: https://internationalbudget.org/initiative/collaborating-for-open-budgets/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ About This Channel Welcome to the International Budget Partnership – your gateway to transparent, inclusive, and accountable public budgeting worldwide. 🌍✨ Discover the transformative power of fiscal transparency and embark on a journey toward democratic governance and social justice.
