for strengthening social movements’ bargaining power in budgeting and service delivery in Senegal The International Budget Partnership (IBP) leads a global campaign to promote transparency and citizen participation in decisions about how governments raise and spend revenues. In partnership with civil society organizations, state actors, international institutions, and the private sector, IBP undertakes research, training, and advocacy to ensure that budget decision-making processes are participatory and inclusive and that spending policies promote equity and justice. IBP’s Strengthening Public Accountability for Results and Knowledge (SPARK) initiative partners with civil society organizations and social movements to help underserved groups understand the fiscal challenges behind poor service delivery and equip them with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively advocate for improved public spending. SPARK combines the strength and momentum of large, “bottom-up” advocacy movements with the targeted public finance expertise and experience of IBP to improve basic services for vulnerable communities. In Senegal, the first phase of SPARK brought new actors — social movements — into the fiscal governance space to achieve improvements in budget allocations and service delivery in key sectors prioritized by marginalized groups. These social movements now have a set of capacities and a level of self-confidence that enable them to identify, engage with, and ultimately influence government decisions. During this grant period, in addition to transitioning from a program to a grounded, adaptive, and effective country office in Senegal, IBP will look to deepen and scale this work to ensure that fiscal governance and service delivery systems are more inclusive, responsive, and accountable to the needs of historically excluded groups, especially women and girls in Senegal. This includes officially registering IBP’s office in Senegal and acting as intermediary in the country to support our Inclusive Governance strategy’s grantmaking there.
for general operating support The Africa Digital Rights Hub (ADRH) is a nonprofit think tank in Ghana that advances and promotes research and advocacy on digital rights issues across the African continent. The Africa Digital Rights Hub is growing and realizing its new strategy, as well as building on a research program on privacy and data protection with the aim of promoting creation and use of data protection and privacy protocols in Africa. This is important to the foundation’s goals under Evidence-Informed Policymaking because the current absence or weakness of policy and regulatory frameworks in Africa to govern use of data to balance innovation, data-driven decision making, and personal privacy is a threat to our ultimate goal — that governments use data to improve policies, programs, and outcomes for people.

In this role it serves as a convener, often translating issues from civil society to business (and vice versa) by raising awareness on issues, scaling new and transformative solutions, and advancing thought leadership and best practice.
This grant is for a program to activate and deepen business leadership to improve governance, enhance accountability, and create incentives that transform economic systems. The program is premised on The B Team’s organizational goal of creating an inclusive economy by 2030. Through this grant, The B Team will contribute to the following goals: (a) incentive structures redesigned to support stakeholder governance and a sustainable, inclusive, people-centered economy; (b) accountability in governance embedded in corporate culture and practice, with companies motivated to adopt — and advocate for — transparent, participatory practices; (c) the growth of corporate transparency in contracting, company ownership and tax as a norm; and (d) business increasingly standing up for and respecting human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.

for the development of an interfaith platform for family planning in Senegal The World Faiths Development Dialogue (WFDD) at Georgetown University is committed to the idea that faith communities represent strong pre-existing networks that can play a vital role in international development. This grant would support WFDD to build upon the Foundation-funded assessment in Senegal, completed earlier this year by the Center for Interfaith Action on Global Poverty. WFDD plans to convene high-level faith leaders, government decision-makers and development partners to broker a consensus on specific approaches (such as a national inter-religious council) to implement the government’s action plan to rapidly increase family planning services. This program would also build a faith-based community toolkit on family planning and reproductive health, which is expected to be endorsed and adopted by Senegal’s faith leaders.
for fundraising capacity building The Center for Values in International Development received a start-up small grant from Hewlett last year. The aim of the Center is to bring the discipline of values and ethics to the fields of international relief and development.

MSI will also facilitate opportunities to share the most compelling stories with relevant policy audiences.
for general operating support Publish What You Pay is a global civil society movement of over 1,000 organizations worldwide campaigning for inclusive, accountable, and evidence-based governance of natural resources. The coalition aims to ensure that payment and other disclosures made by extractive companies and governments through channels such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative lead to better and more accountable use of natural resource wealth. The coalition’s advocacy has led to the inclusion of gender disaggregated data and company ownership data as requirements in the global extractive disclosure standard. Their priorities include focusing on driving greater compliance with reporting standards at the country level, developing members’ capacity to use data in advocacy campaigns, and fostering citizen participation in decisions about the allocation and use of extractive revenues.
