Grants

Common money – common responsibility

Implemented by the NGO Natura, with an aim to increase the level of knowledge and information of NGO sector and citizens in Kolašin on public spending at local level. During its implementation period, a local campaign on participatory budgeting was conducted and a budget for citizens of Kolašin Municipality was prepared, published and printed. Moreover, two trainings on citizens’ participation in decision making on budget planning and spending, were organised for 30 participants from the local municipality, media and NGO representatives.

How is our budget spent? (Non)Public spending in Montenegro

It was implemented by the Centre for Investigative Journalism, with an aim to improve oversight and transparency of public spending at the national level. This was achieved by expert analysis, investigative articles and regular public dissemination of information on public expenditure, public debt structure and projects financed from the capital budget.
