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.
