This initiative will draw upon the AIS project experience to make model municipalities\u2019 budgets more transparent by publishing municipal finance information using an Open Data format. Citizens and other stakeholders will have ready access to information on local spending on programs and functions. Specific outputs will include development of a \u201cMoney Mapping Model\u201d and a \u201cMunicipality Treasury Monitoring\u201d application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Considering transparency as key for encouraging accountability and good governance, this project follows a model of innovation technology, and reinforces the rights of citizens for information and transparency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The information in both applications will be provided in a user friendly format and easy to understand narrative articles explaining situations and trends. Using the international Open Data standards together with practical reference documentation will enable this information to be published open wide in other online communities and different publishing formats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once the new information and communications technology (ICT) tools and applications are developed, the new platforms will be presented through training&#8217;s and round-tables to three target groups: Citizen Advisory Panels (CAPs); other groups of citizens and local actors, including journalists; and city council members and municipal employees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first results will come up for six municipalities of Korca, Berat, Lushnje, Elbasan, Fier and Ku\u00e7ova on February 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16862\" src=\"http:\/\/ais.al\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/klasifikimi-ekonomik-i-shpenzimeve-faktike.png\" alt=\"klasifikimi-ekonomik-i-shpenzimeve-faktike\" width=\"800\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ais.al\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/klasifikimi-ekonomik-i-shpenzimeve-faktike.png 800w, https:\/\/ais.al\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/klasifikimi-ekonomik-i-shpenzimeve-faktike-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/ais.al\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/klasifikimi-ekonomik-i-shpenzimeve-faktike-705x393.png 705w, https:\/\/ais.al\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/klasifikimi-ekonomik-i-shpenzimeve-faktike-450x251.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<div style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_toggle_container  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Narrative Reports<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><div class=\"togglecontainer   toggle_close_all  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_heading  avia-builder-el-last \" >\n<section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\"  >    <div class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-1\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\"   >Narrative Report 1, November 2015 - 29 February 2016<span class=\"toggle_icon\" >        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-1-container\" class=\"toggle_wrap \"  >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color \"  itemprop=\"text\"   ><p><a href=\"http:\/\/ais.al\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narrative-Subcontract-No.-3-PLGP-01-5-with-Tetra-Tech-ARD-PLGP-AIS_English-1.doc\">narrative-subcontract-no-3-plgp-01-5-with-tetra-tech-ard-plgp-ais_english-1<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\"  >    <div class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-2\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\"   >Narrative Raport 2 , 29 February 2016 - 25 June 2016<span class=\"toggle_icon\" >        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-2-container\" class=\"toggle_wrap \"  >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color \"  itemprop=\"text\"   ><p><a href=\"http:\/\/ais.al\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/June.-Narrative-Subcontract-No.-3-PLGP-01-5-with-Tetra-Tech-ARD-PLGP-AIS_Eng-1.doc\">june-narrative-subcontract-no-3-plgp-01-5-with-tetra-tech-ard-plgp-ais_eng-1<\/a><\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Governance &#8211; Good Governance<\/p>\n<p>USAID\/Albania and  PLGP, in collaboration with the Albanian Institute of Science (AIS), has launched an \u201cOpen Governance as Good Governance\u201d initiative.
