Yes, there is:

Major anti-corruption NGOs of Hungary, HCLU, K-Monitor and
Transparency International Hungary have decided to develop a database
that makes the elite’s networks and the spending of taxpayer’s money
transparent, easily searchable and analyzable. The database will
spread information about the winners of public procurements and other
tenders (EU and national funds), and presents to the public who are
behind these companies and what are the relationships between them.

Based on the idea of popular community sites, the project intends to
elaborate the first electronic „who is who” and network map of the
Hungarian policy-making and economic elite, and make a research based
on the received information. We intend to develop a new site and
database that contains all the necessary and relevant information
about Hungarian politicians, policy-makers, business people and
companies as well as the connections and transactions between them.
The three NGOs intend to make a database and a network map that makes
decisions of public bodies on various alternatives of law-making,
granting public procurements, tenders, and privatization procedures
searchable, analyzable and transparent.
