OpenSpending: mapping the money
The OpenSpending project aims to make it easier for the public to explore and understand government spending. It came out of Where Does My Money Go?, an award winning project which enables people to see how UK public funds are spent. OpenSpending is currently working with groups and individuals in numerous countries to set up an international database on public spending.
