Boosting transparency, accountability through information technology

Of late there have been several accountability studies involving private and public delivery services.

For the government, public services delivery is the ultimate concern. The adoption of information technology (IT) by the public sector is one of the means to improve services.

IT promotes public services provided and disseminates information on websites to improve the government’s transparency and accountability.

Accountability is closely related to openness and transparency. To achieve this, disclosures are necessary for all materials regarding the organization, financial situation, performance, ownership and in particular, governance of the organization.
