First launched in 2006, the Open Budget Survey is the world’s only independent, comparative, and fact-based research instrument to measure these essential aspects of governance and accountability: participation, oversight, and transparency:
Transparency – public access to central government budget information.
Participation – opportunities for the public to participate in the national budget process.
Oversight – role of independent oversight institutions, such as legislatures and supreme audit institutions.
