The document discusses public participation in the budget process. It notes that the Open Budget Survey evaluates transparency of key budget documents and opportunities for public participation. The 2017 findings show that legislative oversight and supreme audit institutions face challenges, and that global public participation scores are very low, with no country offering adequate opportunities. Specific examples from Central and Eastern European countries are provided to illustrate current public participation mechanisms, but also to discuss lessons learned and how they can be improved further.

Public Participation in the
Budget Process
Where To?
OECD CESEE SBO 25 May 2018

OBS: What Does It Evaluate?
2
•18 revised questions
examine formal
oversight institutions
•109 indicators used to
construct the Open
Budget Index assess
whether governments
publish online and in a
timely manner eight
key budget documents
•18 new questions
examine opportunities
for public participation
in national budget
decision-making and
oversight

OBS 2017 Finding # 3:
Problems Due to Lack of Transparency are Compounded by
Ineffective Oversight Institutions and
Weak Public Participation in Budgeting
• Legislative oversight is limited, albeit stronger during
budget formulation/approval than implementation/audit
• The basic conditions for Supreme Audit Institutions to carry
out their oversight function are generally in place, but tend
to be less favorable in countries with low transparency
• Global average score on Public Participation is 12/100
• Not a single country, out of the 115 surveyed, offers
adequate participation opportunities (score of 61 or higher)

OBS Finding # 4: No country has adequate practices in
all three pillars of a good budget accountability
system, i.e., transparency, participation, oversight

CESEE/PEMPAL: How can we take PP further?
Examples:
Croatia: Economic and Social Council  multi-sectoral representatives give
opinions on the Executive’s Budget Proposal (EBP)
Georgia: Online consultation on budget priorities + MoF coordination council
Kyrgyz Republic: MoF budget hearings on the EBP, with open invitation
Ukraine: Expert hearings  public & gov’t officials exchange views on budget
www.internationalbudget.org 6
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Can you provide further details on these mechanisms?
2. Are there any other examples you would like to share?
3. What lessons can be drawn from what works/doesn’t work?
4. How can these and other mechanisms be improved?
5. Challenges, and how can civil society and IBP/GIFT help?

This document summarizes a workshop on democratizing fiscal policy. It finds that most countries provide insufficient budget transparency, with 78 countries scoring 60 or less out of 100 on the Open Budget Index. Few countries adequately address transparency, participation, and oversight. It recommends that countries publish more comprehensive budget information, institutionalize transparency gains, provide more opportunities for public participation, empower oversight institutions, and promote integrated accountability ecosystems. The organization will continue working with partners to open budgets and strengthen accountability.

- Recent reviews of Independent Fiscal Institutions (IFIs) in Scotland, Lithuania, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom have provided emerging lessons. IFI outputs are widely viewed as credible and their leaders have become authorities, bringing improvements to fiscal transparency. However, political contexts are challenging and concerns exist over leadership changes and resources. Common themes include demands to expand narrow mandates without additional resources, and the need for more transparent forecast evaluations and systematic media monitoring. Reviews can drive changes and ensure IFI independence, information, and resources to operate sustainably and support transparency.

Euforic Services

The document summarizes a study on national practices of employee information and consultation in Europe. The study analyzed the impact of the 2002 EU Directive on national practices, examined case studies of companies in 6 member states, and identified trends. Key findings were that the directive had a limited impact that was mediated by existing national systems, with path dependency playing a role. While some organizations engaged in active consultation, in general consultation did not significantly increase in quantity or quality across countries.

OECD Governance

This document summarizes the key findings from a progress report by the OECD on implementing principles for transparency and integrity in lobbying. The main points are: 1) There is growing concern about undue influence in policymaking from lobbying in many countries. However, the majority of OECD countries still do not regulate lobbying. 2) In recent years, more countries have introduced lobbying regulations, though the process has often been reactive to scandals rather than proactive. Transparency of lobbying varies significantly between countries. 3) The OECD principles provide guidance to countries on improving transparency and integrity in lobbying. Implementation of the principles remains a work in progress, with ongoing challenges around compliance, enforcement and measuring costs and benefits

Applying systems thinking: Process mapping in Bangladesh

Rebekah McKay-Smith

The document describes a process mapping exercise conducted in Bangladesh to improve health financing for urban poor populations. The project mapped funding flows and the budgeting process across relevant government ministries and municipalities. By mapping institutions, actors, and complex financial interactions, key challenges were identified, such as fragmented responsibility and a lack of coordination among stakeholders. Lessons learned include the need for earlier integration of process mapping, linking it to ongoing analysis, and standardizing visual maps. Future efforts will focus on identifying specific processes for improvement and providing stakeholders with clearer objectives.

Trust in Government and Public Institutions to Improve Policy Outcomes

Support for Improvement in Governance and Management SIGMA

The document discusses measures Poland has taken to build trust in government and public institutions. It outlines areas of focus: democracy, legislative, judiciary, and executive. For each area, it lists specific trust-building measures implemented, such as ensuring transparency in elections; independence and transparency in the judiciary; open communication and consultation with citizens from the executive branch. It notes that building trust takes sustained efforts over time through demonstrated actions, not just declarations. Recent governments have had varying lengths of time in power, with the current government in power the longest, suggesting trust has increased. Constant vigilance is needed to maintain trust gained.

Global Partnership Monitoring Framework: Why, What and How?

Dr Lendy Spires

The document discusses the Global Partnership Monitoring Framework, which tracks progress on commitments made under the Busan Partnership agreement. It was established through a multi-stakeholder process and consists of 10 indicators in areas like country ownership, gender equality, and civil society participation. Data is collected at both the country and global level to inform political dialogue and ensure commitments are matched with actions. Over 30 developing countries have agreed to participate by leading data collection efforts with development partners and stakeholders. The monitoring aims for mutual learning and strengthened partnerships rather than ranking countries.

This document discusses the role of senior civil servants in organizational performance and accountability. It argues that senior civil servants are key to performance because they can align organizational goals with employee objectives, control inputs and processes to influence performance, and leverage tacit knowledge. Creating a performance framework with both "hard" drivers like regulations and "soft" drivers like culture is important. Regular, data-informed performance dialogues between senior civil servants and the center of government can ensure accountability and course corrections. Investing in civil service capabilities like leadership, recruitment, and development is also vital for high performance.

The document discusses how scorecards were used as a tool to strengthen accountability in the health sector. The scorecards rated progress against commitments using standard performance measures and a simple rating system. This made complex data accessible and widened engagement. The scorecards approach enabled the first systematic review of health sector aid effectiveness and demonstrated the feasibility of collecting data on aid implementation. The approach generated debate on performance and accountability within agencies and countries.

This document summarizes trends and challenges in public investment management (PIM) in countries that are part of the Public Expenditure Management Network in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (PEMPAL). It finds that while investment levels have remained steady, other expenses have increased more. Key challenges for PIM include political influence over project selection, delays and cost overruns, lack of transparency, and weak planning and coordination. The document recommends establishing clear investment priorities and criteria, improving transparency of budget information, strengthening institutions and planning processes, and addressing procurement and environmental issues to improve the efficiency of public investments.

The document summarizes the methodology and findings of the Open Budget Survey conducted by the International Budget Partnership. The survey assesses budget transparency, participation, and oversight in over 100 countries based on internationally accepted standards. It finds that on average countries only provide about half the budget information that should be publicly available. Most countries also provide insufficient opportunities for public participation in the budget process and for oversight by legislatures and auditors. The document recommends that countries institutionalize gains in transparency, provide more opportunities for participation and oversight, and develop more integrated budget accountability systems.

The Open Budget Survey 2008 evaluates budget transparency in 85 countries and finds that most governments provide minimal or no public access to budget information. Only five countries received an "extensive" rating, while 41 received "minimal, scant, or no information." Oversight institutions like legislatures and auditors are also often weak. However, many countries already produce budget documents internally and transparency could be improved at low cost by publishing these. The survey recommends governments publish more information and engage the public more, while donors should make aid more transparent.

Budget transparency in PEMPAL countries - Anna Belenchuk, Russian Federation

The document discusses budget transparency in countries that are members of PEMPAL (Public Expenditure Management Peer Assisted Learning network). It notes that 17 PEMPAL members participated in the 2015 Open Budget Index, with scores ranging from 20 to 75 out of 100. A working group on budget literacy and transparency has focused on improving citizens budgets. Key challenges for PEMPAL countries include lack of access to media/technology, confusion from too much information, and weak budget literacy within government. Future plans include engaging more countries in the Open Budget Index survey and continuing to share best practices.

Bd budget only 41% transparent

M S Siddiqui

- According to the Open Budget Survey 2017, Bangladesh's budget transparency score declined from the highest in South Asia in 2015 to 41% in 2017, indicating limited public access to budget information. - The study evaluated how governments make key budget documents available to the public and provide opportunities for civic participation in the budget process. Bangladesh provided few such opportunities. - To improve transparency and accountability, the document recommends strengthening the audit institution's independence, establishing an independent fiscal institution, simplifying budget documents, and increasing public participation in the budget process.

The presentation discusses why governments implement e-government programs, provides an overview of the UN's E-government Survey methodology and results, and shares lessons learned. The Survey ranks 193 UN member states on their e-government development based on online services, telecom infrastructure, and human capital. While most countries now have government websites, few offer transactional online services. The top-ranking countries tend to be European, though some developing countries score highly as well. National governments need policy frameworks and partnerships to better integrate technology into public services.

- The survey summarizes results from the 2011/2012 OECD survey on performance budgeting practices in 31 OECD countries and Russia. - It finds that while performance information is widely used, there is significant variation between countries and performance information has a looser link to funding decisions than in the past. It is used more for management than budgeting. - Spending reviews are becoming more common, used by about half of OECD countries. Line ministries are primarily responsible for setting targets. Poor performance faces increased monitoring but light consequences.

Measuring the impact of Collective Action

Basel Institute on Governance

This document summarizes insights from a workshop on measuring the impact of collective action initiatives. It discusses challenges in quantifying impact and different approaches initiatives have used, including: 1. Gathering data like reports of corrupt demands to demonstrate tangible results of initiatives. 2. Selecting useful metrics like membership growth and market share. 3. Capturing real stories and testimonials to complement quantitative data. 4. Being transparent about limitations of data and challenges faced by initiatives.

Audit procedure in Bangladesh

Sahed Uzzaman

The document provides details about audit procedures for NGOs. It discusses how ACNABIN, an audit firm, conducts complete audits of NGOs following all relevant rules and regulations. NGO audits have special considerations as large amounts of foreign donations are involved, so authenticating these donations is important. Audits check for irregularities in areas like asset management, accounting standards compliance, and tax laws. Auditor recommendations aim to improve NGO performance, and follow-ups on past audits are done. Ensuring financial reporting transparency through accessible audit procedures can benefit multiple stakeholders.

The Open Budget Survey 2010

The document summarizes the key findings and recommendations of the Open Budget Survey 2010, which evaluated public access to budget information and participation in 92 countries. The survey found major gaps in budget transparency worldwide, with governments publishing less than half of required data. Oversight institutions also lacked independence and resources. However, some previously low-scoring countries significantly improved transparency. The survey recommends that governments publish all budget documents and enable public participation, and that donors promote transparency standards.

Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.
