Hot off the heels of this year's , this week we have global expert Matt Glasser, who will take us inside the intricate world of Municipal Finance while unpacking the law and the budget.

Under the theme "Healthy finances at municipal level = Happy communities! What does it take?" we will see how law and budget play out at the municipal level and get a snapshot of how we compare with other countries.

If you want to know where do municipalities get money? How do they spend the money? Do they have enough money? Join us this Friday using the below details.

Heritage Month recognises and celebrates the cultural wealth of our nation. As fellow South Africans, let us all celebrate the day by remembering the different cultures that make up the population of South Africa. This year Heritage Day will be commemorated under the theme: Reclaiming, restoring, and celebrating our living heritage.

Join us for this week's webinar under the theme "Is there room for efficiencies at National level: Analysis of the Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities (DWYPD)".

The spending review will compare the role of the DWYPD against institutions that may play similar functions, such as the Commission for Gender Equality and the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME). Come join us this Friday as presenters from the National Treasury of South Africa, Ms Desire Mathibe (Budget Analyst: Social Development) and Ms Pebetse Maleka (Director: Social Development) share some insights with us.

Hope to see you there!
