Areas of Expertise GRAMP-TC was established in 2001 to build the capacity of civil society to monitor the impact of the Chad-Cameroon pipeline on transparency, accountability and poverty in Chad.  Its goals include: conducting research and monitoring of the socio-economic, legal and environmental aspects of oil revenues, creating a database for decision-makers, and providing advice and technical support to stakeholders in the process.  The organization has completed several pieces of research to date focusing on the pipeline, but has yet to seriously focus on the budgetary issues.
Major Current Activities GRAMP-TC is a CSBI grantee and designed a project to build civil society interventions in the budget process through the following activities:
  • Collating and analyzing information on oil revenues flows.
  • Building a regionally-based team to assist with data collection, processing and analysis.
  • Design and production of popular guides on reading and collecting information on the budget.
  • Training workshops for civil society members of the Observatory watchdog group.
  • Dissemination: Production and distribution of 12 issues of journal, 2 monitoring and analysis reports, website materials and public meetings.
  • Advocacy and lobbying through a meeting of civil society and government personnel.
