[CivicAccess-discuss] FW: Call for Proposal for Strengthening Institutions to Improve Public Expenditure Accountability

[Joe Murray]

Fyi

 

I believe there are some current efforts to make the 2009 federal budget
data available in an electronic format to some of us so that it can be put
up on site in a way that can be sliced and diced by activists. Ideas on the
best technical architecture for a web UI as well as an SOA or other data
service approach are welcome.

Subject: Call for Proposal for Strengthening Institutions to Improve Public
Expenditure Accountability

 

Greetings from GDN!

 

Funded by the Department for International Development (DFID), GDN has
launched an exciting 5-year research project on 'Strengthening Institutions
to Improve Public Expenditure Accountability'.  We would like to invite
proposals from think tanks, research and policy institutions and
independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit organizations based in the
developing and transition world. 

 

The goal of the research project is to achieve institutional and individual
development; jump start the production of internationally comparable
micro-level information on the quality of public spending and share data
with relevant stakeholders; produce templates for analysis and
dissemination/communication that other organizations can adapt for their own
use; and to implement a framework to shape policy debates.

 

Under this Call for Proposals, GDN will sponsor up to 20 institutions over
the project period to 

 

*	conduct detailed budget analyses of public expenditures 
*	utilize methodologies including program budgeting, benefit incidence
analysis, and cost effectiveness studies and 
*	introduce research based policy alternatives 

 

Your institution is welcome to apply with a completed proposal; however this
invitation does not guarantee selection for the project. The deadline for
application is 12th February 2009. For more details, kindly click on the
