We would like to graciously thank the United States Department of State for funding this important initiative. Additionally, we would also like to thank the partners and members of the GIFT network for tirelessly providing their extensive expertise, knowledge and experience in advancing fiscal transparency policies, thereby greatly enriching the course. 

A special note of gratitude goes to the International Budget Partnership, the administrative host of GIFT, an organization working side by side with GIFT in advancing fiscal transparency, accountability and public participation in fiscal policies.
