From Government Transparency to a 'Musical Peace Corps': Hewlett Foundation Awards $125.1 Million in New Grants

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

One way to combat poverty is to help citizens in developing nations receive the basic government services they deserve, from public education to public health.

The Foundation's $820,000 grant to Fundar, Centro de Analisis e Investigaci?n-an independent research center in Mexico City-will enable it to train other government watchdog organizations to analyze state government budgets in that country to help assure that expenditures are made for the intended purpose.

The grant will also support a Fundar collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and the University of California, Santa Cruz, to launch a public Web site to track the Mexican government's agricultural subsidies.

The initiative, called Twaweza (Swahili for "We can do it!"), will be based in Tanzania, and in each of the three countries Twaweza will enlist various public and private partners to provide more government information to the public, strengthen media independence, and help citizens monitor government budgeting and spending for public services.

Among those grants is $3 million to the New Teacher Center in Santa Cruz, California, to continue work begun in 2003 to improve the quality of education in the Ravenswood City School District in East Palo Alto.

The Performing Arts Program, the largest funder of performing arts organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area, made $9,830,353 in grants to 45 organizations.

The Population Program, which makes grants to improve family planning and reproductive health in the United States and around the world, gave $31,745,000 in grants to 38 organizations.
