The Call For Integrity

The “Budget Tracking for Transparent Accountable Governance in Mindanao (BTTAG)” is an initiative implemented by Balay Mindanaw Foundation, Inc. (BMFI) in partnership with the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Local Government Units, The Asia Foundation (TAF), and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). BTTAG hopes to initiate and strengthen LGU-CSO’s journey towards enhancing transparent accountable governance through enhanced participation, accountability, responsiveness and transparency in the local budget process. The over-all project aims at enhancing Local Government Units – Civil Society Organization public-private partnership. The partnership is focused on the tracking of the local budget planning, execution, and accounting process as also promoted by President Benigno C. Aquino III and Secretary Jesse M. Robredo of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).

Aimed at scaling-up local fiscal management through CSO participation and budget transparency, the BTTAG 2nd Policy Dialogue was conducted last February 23, 2012 in Davao City where Secretary Robredo gave the Keynote Speech. The dialogue was attended by the different Local Chief Executives and representatives of BTTAG LGU partners, Civil Society Organizations, National Line Agencies and Legislators who were one in pursuing the call for a transparent and accountable governance.Read More »The Call For Integrity
