STRATEGIC SUPPORT FUND FOR BUDGET TRANSPARENCY

A Call for Research Proposals on Budget Studies to Strengthen Pro-Poor Advocacies of CSOs

Dear Colleagues :

 

Greetings of Peace!

 

Civil Society Organizations in the Philippines have been active in calling for effective and efficient use of

public funds that are allocated and spent through the national budget. 

 

Partly in response, the government has made notable efforts of preparing budget analyses and using them

to influence resource allocation decisions.

 

Increased access to expenditure data creates opportunities for CSOs to engage in a wider range of budget issues, but by their own admission, CSOs’ analytical capacity to take advantage of the expanded opportunities to participate in informed dialogue on budgetary priorities and impacts. 

 

Instead of basing their positions on objective analysis and evidence, many CSOs tend to formulate their views

on the basis of ideology or limited information and analysis.

 

The Strategic Support Fund for Budget Transparency (SSBTF) is a small program of funding for CSOs intended to

(i) provide opportunities for qualified CSOs to engage in producing analysis and evidenced-based policy proposals;

(ii) strengthen their analytical capabilities through learn-by-doing and through coaching by recognized local experts;

and (iii) stimulate interest among other CSOs to participate in future forums based on their own evidence-based analysis through the conduct of an empirical analysis of the government budget from a pro-poor perspective.

The ANSA-EAP thus invites  Civil Society Organizations (CSO) to submit analytical research proposals that contributes to the evidence-based and strategically focused advocacies for budget transparency of pro- poor programs and policies.

 

We will appreciate it very much if you can inform your CSO members and colleagues regarding this program

 

Thank you very much and we hope to hear from you.
