The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) has launched the Power Tools Resource Box & Website. This initiative aims to close the gap between carrying out development work on natural resources and being able to influence the policies formulated by institutions that govern their use. Coordinated by IIED in partnership with NGOs and policy researchers in Africa, Latin America and Asia, the initiative develops and shares tools, tactics and approaches to ensure policy influence for change. The resource box contains Power Tools: Handbook to tools and resources for policy influence in natural resource management, as well as 26 tool summary cards. The resource box is available in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

The International Budget Project (IBP) works to nurture the growth of civil society capacity to analyze and influence government budget processes, institutions, and outcomes. The IBP is interested particularly in working with those organizations that focus on the impact of the budget on poor and low-income people in developing countries or new democracies. The overarching aim of the project is to make budget
systems more responsive to the needs of society and, accordingly, to make
these systems more transparent and accountable to the public.
