The DBM strengthens its network and linkages through the conduct of study visits or learning sessions for local and foreign stakeholders and learners. These study visits or learning sessions are conducted over a minimum period of two (2) hours to a week at most. Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are identified and invited to serve as Resource Speakers on specific topics, which are tackled in various formats, including lectures, fora, or table discussions. Study visits or learning sessions may also include a trip to and/or tour of offices to observe daily activities and actual transactions.
Official delegations and special interest groups from countries, local agencies, or offices that wish to learn more about the Philippine Budget Process, as well as its relevance, role and responsibilities in the context of good governance and public service may be accommodated in brief lectures and discussions upon the approval of their request or invitation from the Department. A formal request in writing, addressed to the head of the agency, is required for proper reference and documentation.
The request should be submitted and acknowledged by the DBM at least two (2) weeks prior to the date of the intended study visit or learning session for local groups, and at least one (1) month before the target date for foreign groups. This will facilitate sufficient preparation of materials and other necessary logistics by the Advocacy, Communications and Training Service - Capacity Development Division (ACTS-CDD).
