Por qué son importantes los datos de integridad política: Perspectivas del Barómetro Global de Datos

[International Budget Partnership @OpenBudgets]

{Quoteoftheweek} At IBP, we believe strongly that bringing civil society and government together around all stages of how public money is raised and spent is the backbone of any anti-corruption effort. We must forge strong accountability ecosystems that can “follow the money” and ensure it is not being misspent or diverted.

This week, take a stand for transparency—add your voice to efforts that #FollowTheMoney and demand accountability in how public funds are used.

Corruption isn’t just a governance issue - it’s blocking progress on climate action. The #CPI2024 reveals that billions of people suffer as funds intended for the planet are misused.
