Open and Accessible Budget in Belozerka


Initiative: Molodežnyj centr regionalnogo razvitija

Web: http://bilozerka.info/

Location: Belozerka, Kherson Oblast (Regional Development Youth Center)

Year 2016

In the time of systemic adopting anticorruption measures, efforts at making the process of handling public finances more transparent have an irreplaceable role to play in all of Ukraine. The campaign strives for publishing the current state of the town budget and its use each quarter of the year.

The initiative group and the town leadership negotiate setting up a town webpage that would publish not only information on the budget use, but also other important information  concerning the town, for example the resolutions and decisions of the town council or assembly. For easier understanding of how the budget is used, the initiative group publishes commentaries explaining the information in a comprehensible language on its website.
