Open spending Albania – Monitoring Treasury

Besjana Hysa from Open spending Albania in her session presented apps for treasury monitoring.

First, money map provides information on the budgets in the past few years (planned and actual!).

Bubble tree is an app that visualizes the budget and provides citizens with an overview of budget categories, a cool thing to do, being that budgets can be boring sometimes. Daily bread tells you how much money are you giving to which area through your taxes. Another part of Open spending Albania is Fund diversion.

Great feature of this app is that it identifies most discriminated areas of the budget. They also do monitoring of state treasury spending, and although they had problems with transparency from the government, things are now much better.

Keep up the good work!
