Recovery Spending Watchdog
2023_04
On June 6, 2023, the Centre for Economic Strategy (CES), the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) and the NGO “Technology of Progress” (TP) launched work on the project “Recovery Spending Watchdog “, funded by the European Union.
The objective of the project is to build a system of independent monitoring of budget and donor expenditures on recovery, analyze them, and involve the public in monitoring the reconstruction.
The project consists of three main components:
1) Analytical: research and analysis on reconstruction monitoring (CES and IER are responsible for the implementation);
2) Subgranting to local organizations monitoring recovery and reconstruction (IER is responsible for implementation);
3) The Big Recovery Portal, a platform that enables active citizens and civil society organizations to monitor specific recovery projects and coordinate their monitoring efforts (TP is responsible for implementation).
