As part of its annual activities, CPD successfully executed the Budget Helpdesk 2024 initiative for the third time, playing a crucial role during the FY2024–25 budget session. The Helpdesk provided data and knowledge support to Members of Parliament from May to June 2024, publishing nine policy briefs covering the overall budget and specific sectors like agriculture, health, education, power and energy, roads and transport, women and children affairs, information and communication technology, and local government and rural development.
