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

Thu Sep 5 14:41:35 UTC 2013

Thanks Lucy!

I'm looking for preferably a budget which we're currently in the middle of
(e.g. a FY13 budget where FY13 includes the current date). But FY12 would
perhaps be ok.

I'll have a look in the IBP budget library - which looks like a great
resource, although the ones I've clicked through to so far are all in PDF.
Will have a look around...

thanks,
Mark
