Transparency in Governance

Transparency in governance means that government actions, decisions, and processes are open and accessible to the public. It involves sharing information honestly and promptly, so citizens can understand how and why decisions are made. This openness helps prevent corruption, builds trust, and allows people to hold leaders accountable. When governments are transparent, they communicate clearly about policies, budgets, and expenses, enabling citizens to be informed and engaged in civic life. Essentially, it’s about ensuring public officials are honest and open about their work to promote good governance and public confidence.
