While proposing and implementing the budget are the legal duty of the executive, strengthening the involvement and participation of citizens and civil society can increase responsiveness, efficiency, impact and trust. Heightened citizen engagement also reduces opportunities for corruption and strengthens the culture of open democracy.
This session will use country examples to identify the opportunities for participative approaches across the budget cycle and highlight some of the key challenges and questions for debate.

Budget transparency brings many benefits for citizens and for society, but putting it into practice can sometimes appear as a daunting task.
This session will highlight the Budget Transparency Toolkit - developed by the OECD with the participation of the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency (GIFT) Network - and the practical steps that it provides for supporting openness, integrity and accountability in public financial management. Furthermore, it will shine a spotlight on the specific role that parliaments have in ensuring budget transparency, highlighting emerging good practices. It will be followed by a discussion on measuring budget transparency in parliaments.

Knowledge exchange is more than just a compilation or warehousing of data or information. To generate new knowledge we must infuse data with new meaning. We do this not in an additive way from single actions and data-bits, but by creating a story about the overall pattern embedded in events and data and then using that story to understand more clearly the events and data that gave rise to it.

Presentation of OECD Government at a Glance 2023OECD Governance
Paris, 30 June, 2023
Presentation by Elsa Pilichowski, Director for Public Governance, OECD.
The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
