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 following web link http://www.gdnet.org/cms.php?id=grp_details&grp_id=13

 

Sincerely,

Global Development Network
