SEND GHANA has welcomed the government's decision to incorporate citizen-driven recommendations into the 2025 national budget, describing it as a positive step toward greater transparency, inclusivity, and accountability.
The organization particularly applauded the uncapping of the National Health Insurance Levy (NHIL) and the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), which will provide additional resources for healthcare and education.
The allocation of GH¢9.93 billion to the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) is expected to strengthen healthcare financing and improve access to quality care, bringing Ghana closer to Universal Health Coverage.
Similarly, the uncapping of GETFund will enable the government to address infrastructure deficits in secondary and tertiary education, ensuring better learning environments for students.
