What is this?

In the context of governance, important aspects of transparency include:
  • It should be reasonably easy to determine even for outsiders which decisions and actions where taken, when, by whom, and for what reasons.
  • Ties of decision-makers to particular stakeholder groups should be disclosed.
  • Any potentially relevant personal financial or other interests of decision-makers should be disclosed in advance.
