| Areas of Expertise |
FOSDEH, formed in 1995, is an established national alliance of NGOs specializing in monitoring public policies on the macro-economy, external debt and development. Their activities include citizen monitoring, research, training, advocacy and dissemination, and organizational capacity building. |
| Major Current Activities |
As a CSBI grantee, FOSDEH started a project to increase the analytical base of civil society members on the Honduran PRSP consultation council. The project aimed to focus on the 30% of the national budget reserved for poverty investment spending. Proposed analyses of past and current poverty budgets would determine their congruence with PRSP guidelines; this information would feed directly into the multi-stakeholder PRSP Advisory Board. The results of the analyses were also to be used to train civil society members around the country in monitoring, analysis and advocacy. The final phase of the project was to conduct an outreach and advocacy process to ensure that citizen's demands for the 2005 budget are taken into consideration. |
