Areas of Expertise
GMD was created in 1996 as a national civil society coalition to promote discussion and implementation of equitable development policies. Their aim is to eradicate absolute poverty through good governance, transparency, and sustainable management of public resources and foreign debt. Activities include technical analyses to produce information and trainings to mobilize members and promote economic literacy. GMD's participation in the PRSP process has served as a platform for members' demands to Government for increased transparency and creation of space for institutionalized participation through the Poverty Observatory. Previous budget studies have focused on allocation of anti-poverty funds, children's budgets, gender and development, agrarian development, deficits and public debt, and general training materials on the state budget.
Major Current Activities
GMD has proposed a project for support by CSBI which seeks to increase public participation to make the state budget a "development budget", based on the needs of the people and reflective of priorities defined in the PRSP agenda. This will require: critical and normative analyses of budget proposals on both the income and expenditure sides; promotion of economic and public finance literacy through training seminars, and; the creation of feedback mechanisms for advocacy efforts by CSOs.
