Open Budget Questionnaire

 

The international project Open Budget Questionnaire, to which Transparency Serbia gave its contribution, has two broad purposes. First, it is designed to assist non-government researchers to understand and apply selected international good practice benchmarks involving budget transparency and accountability to the practices they observe in their countries. Second, the questionnaire is intended to link civil society research efforts on budget transparency across countries , with the intention of leveraging individual efforts in each country to draw international attention to the importance of the issue. However, the Open Budget Questionnaire addresses only a very limited set of topics related to the larger issues of effective public financial management, citizen participation and accountability.

Launch date for the Open Budget Index is February 1, 2009. The results of the Open Budget Index are embargoed until this date.
