| description |
Citizens often lack information on
the use of public funds. They are usually left out of
allocation decisions and do not have opportunities to
provide adequate and timely feedback on the use of scarce
resources. Transparency in the budgetary pro¬cesses reduces
opportunities for wasteful and corrupt spending,
consequently increasing the resources available to fight
poverty. In Nepal, three districts Kaski, Dolakha, and
Nawalparasi (one mountain, one hilly, and one plains region
in the country) are piloting an initiative with support from
the World Bank to promote greater budget transparency and
improve school gov¬ernance. The initiative has three
objectives, simplification, analysis, and disclosure of
budgets at multiple levels (national, district, and school);
awareness and capacity building of government officials and
various levels to promote a public dialogue regarding public
expenditures by encouraging demand-side governance; and
documentation and dissemination. Two national NGOs with
expertise in budget transparency and social accountability
approaches Policy Research and Development (PRAD) and
Community School National Network (CSNN) are facilitating
the community mobiliza¬tion and budget dissemination process. |
