So IBP does/funds alot of the work in this area: http://www.internationalbudget.org/ (which is I think what you are refering to Tiago yes?)
But I actually think possibly one of the accessible and best budget I know of it the Uganda one which is a government one - http://www.finance.go.ug/budgets_background.php and the most exciting document is - Output Budget Report 2008/2009<http://www.finance.go.ug/docs/FY2008_09%20Output%20Budget_3_12.pdf> which maps spending to outputs, in more detail and more clearly than and northern budget I know. However, it isn't particularly techie. but if anyone is interested in doing something with the data, just let me know!
