Funnel the Money: Allocating Resources to Reduce Poverty is being developed by the World Resources Institute and its partners.

Funnel the Money seeks to help governments and policy-makers design and implement policies that allocate intergovernmental transfers in ways that reduce poverty and improve the delivery of services vital to driving economic development and increasing peoples' well-being and quality of life. In addition, Funnel the Money aims to provide citizens with a transparency tool to help assess and provide input to their governments' performance in distributing fiscal resources.

 This site is useful to a variety of audiences, including:

  • central government policy-makers responsible for developing and implementing the policies that allocate central government transfers;
  • local government officials interested in fully understanding how allocations are made and using scenarios to propose alternate, more equitable, approaches;
  • civil society organizations advocating for policies that will maximize poverty reduction;
  • citizens interested in measuring their local leaders effectiveness in reducing poverty and improving the quality of peoples' lives;
  • international donor organizations and donor countries seeking information on how well a country allocates available resources for peoples' benefit;

On 22 April 2009 PFMC as a partner of WRI made a presentation of the Funnel the Money web-site.
