Open budget: learning from the open school platform in Donetsk oblast, Ukraine

This case study analyses how an open government approach is being applied in Ukraine to resolve the critical issue of non-transparent school financing that has undermined trust among key stakeholders in educational planning. It focuses on the Open School Platform which is facilitating interaction between key education stake‑ holders: local public authorities, schools, as well as local NGOs and parents. This study is part of a series of case studies commissioned by the IIEP, under its open government in education research, and as part of its global capacity-building programme on Ethics and Corruption in Education.
