> Hello,
>
> One of the biggest problems of democratic givernance is that Allocated
> funds
> for various causes, initiatives and projects disappear due to corruption,
> mismanagement or just lie unutilised due to poor or non-existant public
> oversight.
>
> Another aspect is that the public Audit watchdogs in may countries is
> unable
> to function independently, and their reports disappear when inconvenient.
>
> Many a times the issues come to limelight when irreparable damage has been
> done, due to media expose or due to increasingly used Right-to-Information
> provisions, however media moves on to next issue, and there is no permanant
> vigil over the public expenditure. The same issue is rampant in Asia,
> Africa
> and even in developed countries.
>
> We need a Global countrywise repository for monitoring, tracking,
> identifying possible issues in public expenditure. The domain is important
> enough for Wikimedia, and the support / backing crucial enough for the
> platform to succeed.
> Pl. consider this request to start a wiki to monitor the government
> spending, possibly named as GovSpendWatch-Wiki.
> Project Proposal has been made @
>
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GovSpendWatchWiki>
> Pl. forward the proposal to foundation-l mail-list for review.
