520			_a"Civil society organisations play an increasingly important role in analysing government budget policies and in advocating for more transpa rent and inclusive budget processes in transitional and developing coun tries. Drawing on case studies of six budget groups across Europe, Afri ca, Asia and Latin America, this book is the first comprehensive study of the impact and significance of civic initiatives aimed at enhancing budget transparency and the poverty focus of government expenditure pri orities. Achievements include improvements in the transparency of budge tary decisions, increased budget awareness and literacy, and deeper eng agement in the budget process on the part of legislators, the media and civil society organisations. The case studies in this book show how bu dget groups produce greater equity in budget policies and strengthen de mocracy by fostering accountability, enhancing transparency and deepeni ng participation and voice."--BOOK JACKET.
