Description
Demand for transparency is an issue which many authorities, institutions, businesses across the world have to deal with. It is one of the essential principles for achieving a healthy democracy and a well-functioning state or society in general. It is of a particular importance for countries who are aiming to join international bodies such as the European Union (EU) or Open Government Partnership (OGP) as they have certain disclosure requirements. Considering the importance of transparency, many countries on an international level, especially the developing ones, are taking different initiatives, such as new government websites, open data platforms, and other initiatives that contribute to the involvement of the public in government decision-making processes.
