Reports to: Global Lead, Policy and Research Background Around the world, public resources are being raised and spent unfairly and ineffectively, leaving millions of people without access to quality public goods and services they need to thrive. Governments often make public resource decisions without much consultation or information from the public. Meanwhile, those with power and privilege very effectively influence government decisions in their favors. Our goal is to make governments raise and spend public money more fairly, so that everyone has the resources and opportunities they need to thrive and get ahead. To achieve this, The International Budget Partnership (IBP) partners with budget analysts, community organizers, and advocates in more than 100 countries to advance public budget systems that work for people. Together, we generate evidence, advocate for reform, and build the skills and knowledge of people so that everyone can have a voice in budget decisions that impact their lives.

Today, IBP is a globally dispersed organization with staff based in multiple countries with in-depth country work in Nigeria, South Africa, Indonesia, and Francophone Africa. IBP is a US registered 501 c3 with branch offices in Senegal and affiliates in the Netherlands, in South Africa and in Nigeria and a total budget of about USD 14 million a year. In addition to our in-depth country work, IBP works with partners in more than 30 countries to strengthen budget transparency, participation, and accountability. Although IBP is not a sector-focused organization, in recent years we have focused on specific sectors, such as health and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), in selected countries. Health public financial management (health PFM) concerns how public resources are planned, budgeted, released, spent, reported, and overseen within the health sector. IBP is building a portfolio of technical assistance, capacity strengthening, research, and country-level programming focused on improving the credibility, execution, transparency, and accountability of health spending. IBP combines a problem-driven approach to PFM reform with an accountability ecosystem approach. Rather than beginning with generic assessments of compliance with good practice, we work with country teams, civil society, government, and other stakeholders to identify concrete problems affecting health spending and service delive
