Key Facts
The International Budget Partnership is a five-year program to encourage the adoption of transparent, accountable, and participatory practices in Public Finance Management. The Initiative will engage in 90 countries, primarily in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It seeks to achieve its objectives by conducting a set of research and advocacy activities which will support the implementation of three biennial Open Budget Surveys measuring government budget transparency practices. The Initiative will also produce literature and guidebooks on public finance management practices and citizens’ budgets. Further, the Initiative will support research and advocacy on the causes and consequences of lack of transparency at the subnational levels of government in select countries and within sectors like the oil and gas sector and in institutions like state-owned enterprises. Finally, the OBI will support the development of international platforms to guide advocacy in support of greater transparency, including developing best practice norms in Public Finance Management.
