Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association (BPRA) will this weekend (11 and 12 February 2012) be holding consultative meetings and training workshops as part of its quest to empower the residents of Bulawayo to take charge of their destinies in the areas of service delivery and local governance. The meetings are aimed at assessing the state of service delivery in Bulawayo and will offer residents a platform to engage with their councillors and Members of Parliament on critical issues affecting them. The training workshops are aimed at empowering residents to participate in the discourse on critical issues affecting the lives of residents. At the workshops, residents’ leaders will be trained in participatory budgeting and gender budgeting which are part of the Residents Leadership Development Programme that is currently underway at BPRA.
Below are tables showing the scheduling for the consultative meetings and training workshops:
