OECD Principles of Transparency in Government

The OECD Principles of Transparency in Government emphasize the importance of clear, open communication between governments and citizens. This means that governments should provide accessible information about their policies, decisions, and spending. Transparency helps build trust, allows citizens to participate in decision-making, and ensures accountability in governance. By making information readily available, governments enable citizens to understand processes, monitor actions, and engage in informed discussions about public affairs. Overall, these principles aim to enhance democratic governance and ensure that public resources are managed responsibly.
