The main focus of the Public finance and Economic Development Program is the transparency of public finances in the Republic of Serbia as well as the structure of budget incomes and spending to further develop the economic development of all parts of Serbia.
The catalyst of this program was the project Understand Public! financed by the Embassy of the United States of America in Belgrade. Through the program, the Institute conducts workshops for the representatives of media and non–government organizations representatives in the areas of public finance, public procurement, and journalism to raise awareness in these areas.
