[OpenSpending] Current, structured, detailed budget for a developing country?

Thu Sep 5 13:03:20 UTC 2013

Hi All,

I'm not sure what "up to date" means here. But also recommend having a look
in the Google Drive Budget Library from the International Budget
Partnership from their 2012 survey:

Hope that helps!

Lucy
