Public Sector Transparency – an online report

This Special Report on Public Sector Transparency from the Development Gateway website illustrates current international trends in advancing transparency through civil society, government and the media.

Shining a publicly scrutinizing light on otherwise veiled economic, political and social goals of nations is the core goal of transparency, lessening the possibility of corruption and advancing democratic practices.

Increasingly, the argument for transparency also now extends to its role in global poverty reduction and economic growth.

Through extensive interviews with leaders across a range of sectors as well as survey feedback from Development Gateway users, this online Report explores the practical issues of ensuring openness in governments around the world.

This Special Report provides a multi-sectoral perspective about public sector transparency.
