Broad Recommendations for the Budget: The CSJ recommends a budget that transcends job-creation and social support but fosters substantive equality in all aspects of life and the economy while freeing the potential of all persons and improving the quality of life of all citizens. Also recommended is a disaggregated data enabled anticipatory impact assessment of the budget to detect and avoid “stray bullets” whose systemic impact is likely to undermine progress towards substantive equality in all economic and social aspects of society at all levels, possibly using the Social Justice Impact assessment Matrix (SIAM). The budget should foster substantive equality, undergirded by human solidarity and capabilities, particularly for the historically deprived, mindful of socio-economic status disadvantages that transcend race, gender and disability. #SocialJustice #Budget2026
