Support to develop an action plan and strategy to reconstitute the Applied Budget Coalition ( ABC ) , a collaborative of civic organizations dedicated to increasing transparency of the budget process and improving communication on national fiscal allocations among civil society , government , and citizens . A rollback in the government 's fuel subsidy and pending hydrocarbon legislation triggered renewed protests in January 2005 . Manages overall strategy and vision for designated country program ( s ) ; handles all aspects of program management ; anticipates and plans for programmatic needs and takes action accordingly ; provides guidance to staff in this area ; oversees programmatic progress and measures program performance , timing and results ; conducts assessments . PCE 's volunteers now form small groups throughout the nation to address local concerns and take national action . Of course I 'm a little skittish ( a little ) , but it 's only because when I opened that door or pulled aside that shower curtain , I hardly expected that a dead stinkin ' body would fall out ! Now , Shawn will take exception , and I suppose to be fair , tone deaf might be a little much as a descriptor . One positive element that emerged from the elections was the success of civic organizations in their efforts to observe and report on the electoral process . NDI also implemented the " Making Cities Work " project in the city of New Amsterdam and Anna Regina , geared toward community action in resolving local concerns in collaboration with local officials . And one time , Shawn 's dad opened the door and we just ran like we were escaping !
