Decisions about "who gets what, when, and how" are perhaps the
most important that any government must make. So it should not be
remarkable that around the world, public officials responsible for
public budgeting are facing demands --from their own citizenry,
other government officials, economic actors, and increasingly from
international sources --to make their patterns of spending more
transparent and their processes more participatory.
Surprisingly, rigorous analysis of the causes and consequences
of fiscal transparency is thin at best. Open Budgets seeks to fill
this gap in existing knowledge by answering a few broad questions:
How and why do improvements in fiscal transparency and
participation come about? How are they sustained over time? When
and how do increased fiscal transparency and participation lead to
improved government responsiveness and accountability?
