The main goal of the project is to provide the public with relevant data on the financial management of each town, city and higher territorial unit since 2006. The project was created with the financial support from the Open Society Institute. We believe that increasing awareness of these figures will improve the financial management of individual towns, as the mayors will be driven to do so. With the help of the timelines, each user can compare the pursuits of the mayors to improve the town’s economy.

The data is taken from the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic. They are not always data required by the law, and they can differ from the data in the towns’ accounting records. We try to detect and correct any potential differences. The data is not an assessment of the effectivity of the town’s economy, but of its sustainability.

This project was supported by a grant from the Foundation Open Society Institute in cooperation with the Think Tank Fund of the Open Society Foundations. The project is run by INEKO Institute which is a non-governmental non-profit organization established in support of economic and social reforms which aim to remove barriers to the long-term positive development of the Slovak economy and society.
