Abstract

This report provides examples of projects around the world that are using technology (web, mobile or otherwise) to further aims of fiscal transparency. We focused on projects which: -Publish more or better data related to fiscal processes (aid, revenues, budgets, audits, etc.), -Help understand this data through the creation of better visualisation and ata analysis tools, -Educate citizens about fiscal processes, and assist civil society organisations in promoting accountable governance, -Facilitate direct participation in fiscal matters through participatory budgeting, citizen auditing, etc., -Provide policymakers with complete and reliable data relevant to their work, enabling them to make better decisions.
