Since its inception in 2006, the Transparency and Accountability Program (TAP) has strengthened the capacity of independent monitoring organizations (IMOs) in low- and middle-income countries to better hold their governments accountable and to promote improvements in social sector public spending and service delivery. 

Dennis de Tray of R4D served as senior advisor to the Government of Kazakhstan (GoK) in its efforts to shape the country's next 10-year development plan and achieve the President's long-term vision, Kazakhstan 2030.

The Strengthening Institutions Program, a joint program of the Global Development Network and R4D, aims to strengthen policy debates around public expenditure issues in developing countries by providing support to emerging think tanks to conduct analyses of spending in the health, education, and water sectors.
