Frequently Asked Questions What is the International Budget Project? The International Budget Project assists non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and researchers in their efforts both to analyze budget policies and to improve budget processes and institutions. The Project is especially interested in assisting with applied research that is of use in ongoing policy debates and with research on the effects of budget policies on the poor. The Project works primarily with researchers and NGOs in developing countries or new democracies. What is the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities? Founded in 1997, the International Project is part of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities . The Center, founded in 1981 in Washington DC, examines data and conducts research on how budget and tax policies affect low- to middle-income people. For nearly two decades, the Center has produced timely analytic reports that are designed to be accessible to public officials, nonprofit organizations, and the media.

Search: Where: Everywhere help sitemap contact info Questions to Mr. Thomas O’Brien, Resident Representative of the World Bank in Sofia: 1. What is your assessment of the current economic situation in Bulgaria? To what extent can the country possibly be affected by the financial crisis in other emerging markets? Bulgaria’s economic performance has turned around remarkably over the last eighteen months or so, faster and more positively than many commentators expected. From a crisis situation in late 1996 and early 1997, we now see a stable economic environment with low inflation, low interest rates, a fixed exchange rate supported by the Currency Board, a sound Government budget, some re-bound in wages, and a reduction in unemployment. This is very welcome and reflects the efforts made by the Government and others in society to pursue robust often difficult policies to promote sustainable economic growth. As for the crisis in global financial markets, Bulgaria has been relatively insulated, and there is certainly less cause for concern here than in some other economies. Actually the global crisis has shown some signs of calming over recent weeks, but of course we still need to be alert to developments. Beyond the economic stabilization, much work needs to be done. We all recognize that for many ordinary citizens, it’s a tough job just making ends meet every week. In fact there is significant poverty which worsened as a result of the economic crisis a while ago and this will take time to roll back. It is the fight against poverty which is our top priority.

APPEAL OF THE WEEK CAFOD Launches Iraq Appeal 06 Jul 2001 00:00:00 GMT Sudan oil investment under fire from European NGOs By Thalia Griffiths File photo LONDON (AlertNet) - More than 60 NGOs active in Sudan have signed up so far for the European Coalition on Oil in Sudan (ECOS), and campaign coordinator Egbert Wesselink says he has received expressions of support from at least 20 more who do not want to endanger their work in northern Sudan by publicly backing the campaign. Some Christian organisations, especially in the United States, have used the religious angle to mobilise support for their campaigns and the Khartoum government has sometimes used Islam as a legitimising and mobilising factor. Wesselink said he estimated that the ECOS signatories were about 60 percent Christian and 40 percent secular, reflecting the balance of NGOs active in southern Sudan. U.S. groups ranging from right-wing Christian fundamentalists through mainstream churches and human rights groups to African-American and anti-slavery organisations have been campaigning for some time against the National Islamic Front government in Khartoum.

2. Mobilising disabled people and organisational development Contents Previous Next Organisational development in Uganda ... Conclusion In most countries, a similar pattern seems to have emerged with respect to the shape of the disability movement. Often the first organisations to be formed are among mobility impaired, blind and deaf persons respectively. In all three groups, the starting point is usually found in educational activities or other services provided by the state or others. Other groups emerge from local self-help campaigns. In many instances, this applies to the mobility impaired, who tend to organise around income-generating activities and/or the production of assistive devices. Often their main goal is the immediate improvement of living conditions for their members. Cross-disability organisations or umbrella organisations are more likely to adopt a broader rights-based approach. Once they have been established, disability organisations need to gain ground and increase their strength. A number of strategies are usually considered at this stage, including: Membership campaigns Organisational development Conscientisation One of the crucial strategic questions to be addressed with regard to the organisation of persons with disabilities is whether to provide support for special organisations or for cross-disability programmes. The most appropriate solution will always depend on the local context in any given country. In the North, small disability groups have, over time, increasingly formed their own special organisations. This seems to have followed a natural pattern, which can also be observed in several developing countries. It occurs when certain groups achieve an increased understanding of their specific needs and interests (e.g. in relation to treatment) and as a reflection of the particular solidarity existing among persons with the same type of disability. As mentioned above, the Danish disability movement is also made up of special organisations within the umbrella organisation DSI.

Morgan/Rex Features). Stop the world. I want to get off. This is the credo of the tolerance-worshipping, selective civil libertarians of Australia’s Vietnam generation, for whom the United States remains the archenemy and Osama bin Laden and his sympathizers an irritating challenge to their reflexive anti-Westernism. The fatuity of the “anxiously affluent,” fashionably postmodern, faux-bohemian baby boomers and their ideological offspring would be irrelevant if it didn’t manifest in a stubborn refusal to face the reality that we do live, as U.S. Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman said yesterday, in an “age of insecurity.” Like the United States and other Western countries, Australia is a target for terrorists of the religio-fascist extreme Islamist persuasion. Australians died in Bali, the government has since received credible threats of a terrorist attack on Australia, and we must be vigilant. We can no longer carry sharp objects on passenger flights, unattended bags will be viewed with more suspicion, and some people will be raided by ASIO [the Australian Security Intelligence Organization]. But this does not mean, however, that we cannot maintain a healthy skepticism about police and intelligence agencies, or that we will abandon our respect for freedom and the rule of law.
