Brazil’s Public Spending project is looking for leaders in various regions of Brazil to increase participation in the budgeting process. – Open Knowledge International Blog

"On the 11th of January, OK Brazil launched its new Public Spending website.

The website is part of a wider campaign to search, recruit and support new leaders that wish to work with transparency, mainly public spending, in Brazilian municipalities and is using OKI’s OpenSpending technical architecture. The support will be provided to mentors specializing in law, transparency, technology and open data. The goal here is to increase the transparency in budget execution, bidding process and contractual management of cities.

In order that leaders can achieve concrete results, the OK Brazil team will develop a chronogram with each and everyone of them, using the existing legal framework, the support of mentors and digital tools to increase transparency and the participation in the budgeting process."
