Overview
The International Budget Partnership (IBP) collaborates with civil society around the world to analyze and influence public budgets to reduce poverty and improve governance. After fifteen years of steady growth and a strong track record of impact, the IBP is gearing up to significantly expand its support to partner organizations, as well as its own research, analysis, and advocacy to promote budget transparency. During this grant period, the IBP will lay the groundwork to launch a new five-year strategy in 2014. This will include reevaluating its institutional status and relationship to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, putting in place the necessary financial and administrative systems to expand and deepen its re-granting effort, and further developing its approach to focus countries. IBP will continue to implement the Open Budget Index, the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency, and research on the impact of civil society budget work.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that pursues federal and state policies designed both to reduce poverty and inequality and to restore fiscal responsibility in equitable and effective ways. CBPP applies deep expertise in budget and tax issues and in programs and policies that help low-income people, in order to help inform debates and achieve better policy outcomes. Among CBPP’s current priorities, its Full Employment project offers a thorough re-evaluation of key macroeconomic assumptions, particularly those related to full employment, inflation, and the business cycle. For decades, empirically suspect assumptions in these areas led to policies that contributed to slack labor markets, with the costs falling largely on the most economically vulnerable people and their communities. There is growing recognition across the economics profession that these assumptions led policymakers to implement fiscal and monetary policies that reduced employment, incomes, and opportunities for millions of working families. CBPP will continue to develop, elevate, and disseminate research on the benefits of full employment, the costs and disparate impacts of slack, and the monetary and fiscal policy agenda necessary to get and keep the U.S. labor market at full employment.
