[OpenSpending] openspending Digest, Vol 45, Issue 4

Wed Sep 4 11:12:25 UTC 2013

Hi Mark,

Just been having a think about your request. I thought of a couple of 
countries where there is data is this sort of form, but none which match 
your exact requirements. The one the comes to mind that meets most of your 
requirments for me would be Cambodia, which is still quite highly aid 
dependent (weird how that is a good thing in this context!) and presumably 
has multi donor support.

Link to the Cambodian budget law database 2000 to 2013 is here 
http://www.cambodianbudget.org/budget_database.php . Let me know your 
thoughts or have any questions about it? I thought of Togo, but there is no 
project line, and I believe I have some other examples on file, but they 
would not be from 2013.

Hope that helps, if not i'll have another search/think for you.

Richard
