Summary/Abstract: Much of the discussion on the region is rightly focused on the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. The outcome of the conflict will hold weighty consequences for the state of democracy not only in the region, but on the global stage. In these uncertain times, it remains more essential than ever for the region’s leaders to commit to building strong and inclusive democracies that welcome the participation of civil society and the public in budget processes. The international community should also continue to support reformers in the region, and citizens that have demonstrated a strong commitment to advance transparency and accountability. Ensuring full and comprehensive budget transparency—and pursuing avenues to engage the public more meaningfully in public spending decisions— will remain a key pillar of strengthening democracy and open government in this region.
