Java, Indonesia

Partners in Java, Indonesia, support institutions that encourage transparency and accountability in an environment where corruption is perceived to be pervasive. SAc initiatives are mostly in budget transparency. Partners conduct budget monitoring and analysis to safeguard the integrity of the budget process from the national to the local levels. They apply SAc tools and innovations on performance monitoring to foster greater civic engagement.
