a second draft

The first draft really helped my personal understanding of budget work, the role of transparency and advocacy and the need for it. It also gave me basic groundwork to furthur crystalize things into both 1. a smaller, simpler document, 2. a more comprehensive standalone document.

smaller document needs to make 3 basic points:
1. show the role of budget work
- why
2. show India's status
- an understanding of India's shortcomings
3. show issues within the budget that needs improvement
- a example of what issues are brought to the forefront through government budget accountability: example: education funding decreases, descrepency between India and similar countries in terms of economics. The idea being to make a point that there is so much to be done!

The more comprehensive statement should have the same 3 sections, but really analyze these:
1. simple definitions:
- budget work
-CBGA
-Open budget index
-publiclly avaialable information
2. India stage by stage
-maybe no resources shown would be better and people can refer to the web if needed
3. issues
- highlight the advocacy of CBGA throught main issues: education, health, poverty. have example of budget spending for each, analyze each by stating goals, demands, and show comparisons.

a layout for each will come soon.
