Campaign Coordinator: Global Movement for Budget Transparency and Accountability
The government's budget affects the life of every citizen, especially those that are poor or marginalised. Yet, in many countries citizens have limited access to information about how the government plans to raise and spend public resources, let alone how effectively they have been used. For this reason, civil society organisations from over 50 countries recently came together to launch and international advocacy initiative and sign a Declaration of Principles to secure greater access to information and accountability for public funds. The Steering Committee of this nascent global movement, currently based at the International Budget Partnership, is looking to recruit a Campaign Coordinator to shape and lead a global campaign to secure greater public access to budget information and accountability for public funds.

Core and Institutional Support to Policy Research Centers
The Think Tank Fund of the Open Society Foundations requests proposals from independent, nonpartisan multi-issue public policy centers working in Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo, and Ukraine to promote inclusive policy change.
"Inclusive policy change" refers to a policymaking process that is open, transparent, and responsive to the public interest. The Think Tank Fund aims to support policy centers that strengthen democratic processes in their countries by identifying and analyzing policy options, consulting with the government to advance their recommendations, involving stakeholders outside government circles in policy debates, and making their findings widely available to the public. Thus, while potential grantees should engage with public authorities, the Think Tank Fund also seeks to fund organizations that galvanize public interest and debate about the issues on which they are working. The fund currently directs its support primarily to organizations that work on economic, political and social reform issues in their countries.

Corruption at the Grassroots-level - Between Temptation, Norms, and Culture
The macroeconomic correlates of corruption are well understood and well researched. Empirical evidence on the micro level, however, is still far from being exhaustive. In particular, it is not clear to what extent empirical results of interesting case studies - both experimental and microeconometric - are specific to the cultural or normative context in which they have been derived. In how far are social norms in conflict with corrupt temptations and how does this context-specific conflict guide human behaviour? This special issue is devoted to furthering our understanding of the extent of context-specificity of empirical results on corruption.
