The International Budget Partnership learning game

The IBP - game is an online learning game designed for the International Budget Partnership. The umbrella organisation offers training and knowledge resources supporting civil society organisations around the globe focusing on budget advocacy and monitoring.

In the scenario based learning game, players travel to the imaginary country of Polarus. The user takes on the role of an intern working for SeDeN, a budget advocacy organisation. The task is to investigate whether public resources are being used to fight poverty and improve the lives of poor and marginalised people. Users explore development problems, find out how government budgets affect developments and learn how to build successful strategies for change.

The game is designed by Formula D interactive in collaboration with Wireframe Studio and is targeted at people who are already involved in budget advocacy work and are committed to an organisation; the aim of the approximately 2-hour long pilot of the game is to explore and test the effectiveness of an extendable game based learning platform for budget advocacy organisations around the world, where they can learn about common strategies and methods that will help them reach their objectives.
