Book Synopsis Budget Transparency and Participation by : Alta Fölscher
Download or read book Budget Transparency and Participation written by Alta Fölscher and published by Idasa. This book was released on 2002 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the concluding decade of the 20th century Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia all underwent democratic or constitutional renewal, raising expectations of increased transparency, accountability and participation in public budgeting, stepping stones towards reduced corruption and improved spending outcomes. This book assesses the progress made against a systematic framework of internationally accepted standards. Each of the country chapters looks at transparency through the eyes of the ordinary citizen and the legislatures and asks what information they would need to assess the link between policy priorities, spending and services. Therefore while the study poses the standard codified questions on the availability, accuracy, timeliness and usefulness of information, it asks them with one yardstick in mind: is the information adequate to enable meaningful participation of citizens. In addition it asks a series of questions about participation itself. The assessments were done by in-country non-governmental organisations over a two-year period and as such offer a rich understanding of the technical and political obstacles to open management of the public purse.These and other cross-country implications of the study are captured in a synthesis chapter.

Notably, the Interim Committee, at its April and September 1996 meetings, stressed the need for greater fiscal transparency.

Book excerpt: This chapter presents an overview of the current state of knowledge on the impact and effectiveness of accountability and transparency initiatives (ATI) in public budget processes. This study is primarily a literature review, though also reflects my experience as a practitioner.The chapter begins with a discussion of three inter-related concepts: transparency, accountability, and participation. While transparency, accountability, and participation in budget processes often go hand in hand, we should be wary of conflating them. Below I define these key concepts and distinguish the origin of interest in each as it relates to public budgets. I then briefly map out the range of ATIs in this sector.The following section discusses the expected impacts and assumptions underlying ATIs in budget processes. Section 2 presents evidence of their impact and effectiveness, Section 3 notes the various methods used to assess impact, Section 4 discusses which factors contribute to impact, Section 5 highlights existing gaps, and Section 6 presents an annotated bibliography.

Book Synopsis International Trends in Participatory Budgeting by : Michiel S. De Vries
Download or read book International Trends in Participatory Budgeting written by Michiel S. De Vries and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-26 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the participatory budgeting practice as it has evolved in evaluated countries, focusing on what is substantially at stake concerning the budget and issues involved, the actual participation, the way such processes are organised and administered, and the outcomes of such processes. It concludes that participatory budgeting in selected European countries is far away from the level of ‘best practice’, but that all experiences are not just trivial pursuits. The information collected serves to check, to what extent participatory budgeting as practiced in the countries involved presents a real attempt to change municipal budgets towards addressing the needs of marginalized groups and to improve decision-making based on local democracy and participation, or whether these processes as such are to be judged to be more important than any output and outcomes. The practices can neither be seen as a process of policy diffusion nor as a process of policy mimesis. The terminology of participatory budgeting remains, but the tools to achieve the goals resulted only in marginal changes in the status quo in municipalities in European countries practicing participatory budgeting, instead of resulting in radical changes to increase spending in favor of marginalized groups.

This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Fiscal Transparency Evaluation report highlights that Uzbekistan is embarking on a comprehensive reform program to strengthen public financial management and fiscal transparency. Wide-ranging reforms to improve the coverage, reliability, quality, and accessibility of fiscal reports are being developed and implemented, and some good progress already made. This assessment of fiscal transparency practices has been undertaken to support the government’s efforts to increase transparency by identifying priority areas for reform. An evaluation of practices against the IMF’s Fiscal Transparency Code (the Code) finds that tangible gains have been made over 2017 and 2018. In several areas where Uzbekistan’s practices do not currently meet the basic standard required under the Code, quick progress can be made. The report also provides a more detailed evaluation of Uzbekistan’s fiscal transparency practices and recommended reform priorities. Strengthening legislative oversight of the state budget with a view to reducing the extent to which in-year changes can be made to aggregate expenditures without prior parliamentary approval.
Book Synopsis Budget Transparency and Participation in South Korea by : Jong-sung You
Download or read book Budget Transparency and Participation in South Korea written by Jong-sung You and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Korea can be considered a success story in terms of budget transparency as well as economic development. According to the Open Budget Index, published by the International Budget Partnership, Korea is one of the top performers in budget transparency in the Asia Pacific region (IBP 2010). During the authoritarian era in Korea, however, budget information as well as overall government information was not widely shared. Secrecy, rather than transparency, was deemed necessary for efficiency. The Korean case highlights the important role of democracy in promoting fiscal transparency. We first assess the positive achievements and limitations in budget transparency and participation in Korea. Then, we conduct historical process tracing in order to identify key milestones and watershed moments that allowed for breakthroughs. We provide detailed accounts of how fiscal democracy has been institutionalized through various reforms. We further attempt to explain the factors and mechanisms that have facilitated these processes and examine the roles of various actors, such as presidents, legislators, the judiciary, and in particular, civil society organizations and the media. We also analyze how budget information was used and what effects enhanced budget transparency had on budgetary priorities, government efficiency, and corruption. We conclude, emphasizing the role of civil society organizations in promoting and maintaining virtuous circles of fiscal democracy.
