DCAF’s transparency and accountability nexus (T&A derive from the principles of democracy)

Democracy
Legitimation of authorities
through participation and scrutiny
Transparency Openness
OPEN GOVERNMENT More effective
democracy
In the democratic process, the legitimation of any authority requires setting off political objectives and taking out political actions that have to be properly understood. To “understand” requires ability to to have access to relevant data and to “get into the process” of decision-making. The understanding is a precondition for participation: higher participation presupposes better democracy. Higher participation means accountability. BUT the accountability for public policy is an arena of conflict.
Accountability
