for improving citizen access to fiscal information and participation in Senegal's budgeting process
ONG-3D promotes democracy through government transparency and people’s participation in local governance in Senegal to ensure their rights to basic public services are met. This grant will support a program to improve citizens’ access to Senegal’s national budget information by creating and publishing a version of the budget that is easily understandable by citizens and that meets the standards of the International Budget Partnership for "citizen budgets." This grant will also support experimentation and mechanisms for citizen engagement in local government budget processes as Senegal decentralizes public services.
for a project to strengthen transparency and citizen engagement in public procurement in Senegal
ONG-3D is a Senegalese organization that promotes government transparency and builds the capacity of organized citizen groups to use information about their government’s development policies and plans to demand accountability and better public services. This grant will enable ONG-3D to promote public disclosure of information about government contracts and procurement processes, build capacity of citizens to use this information to monitor the execution of public contracts, and increase participation of women-owned enterprises in public procurement.
