Budget Information Service
CBPS will work on the creation of a Budget Information Service (BIS) to fill many gaps in governance related information.
For Whom
The client-base for such a service is visualised to be quite diverse:
- Local governments: elected representatives and administrators at the panchayat, municipal, district and State level
- Civil society: NGOs, self help groups, slum dweller’s organisations,resident welfare associations, academic institutions
- Policy makers: State and district level policy makers for development strategies.
- Financial stakeholders: Financial lending institutions, Central/ State/bilateral/ multilateral donors.
Purpose
BIS aims to fundamentally change the nature of dialogue in the decentralised sub-State governance arena by making information available to all those who wish to use it.
