CBPP – International Budget Partnership

The International Budget Partnership (IBP), housed at Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, releases the Open Budget Survey every other year.  A unique report, the Open Budget Survey is a rigorous analysis of budget transparency around the world, undertaken as a joint project of civil society partners in 94 countries.  The release of the report is an international event, and also an event in each individual country.  Englin Consulting was retained to help IBP develop messaging, build a communications plan, train spokespeople, and coordinate release materials and outreach around the world for the 2010 Open Budget Survey release.

“Englin Consulting was a key factor in the success of our release of a major research initiative.  Whether coordinating the design of materials, training our staff to interact with journalists effectively, developing media messages, and pitching the story, they were focused, professional, and enthusiastic.”
