This public education and awareness programme on the ‘Budget and the Budget Process in
Grenada’ was aired on Vibes 101.3 FM radio station [ vibes101.3@gmail.com or kimsplaza@gmail.com] in
Carriacou, as Kim the King graciously agreed to air the programme as a public service-free of cost.

The programme is the technical product of Ms. Laurel Bain and Dr. Juliet Melville, who worked with PR and Co [prandco473@gmail.com], to provide the education programme as a public service. Dr. Roxanne Brizan-St Martin, who anchors the programme, informs that the information was extracted from the workshop that was facilitated by Ms. Bain and Dr. Melville, and which was organized by the Non-State Actors Advisory Panel in Grenada, with support from the 11th European Development Fund [EDF] Technical Co-operation Facility and Support to Non-State Actors.
