Madrid, 14 April 2015<\/em> – Transparency, accountability and participation must be at the heart of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Financing for Development (FfD) agenda according to a position paper published today by the Transparency, Accountability and Participation in Post-2015 (TAP) Network<\/a>, which was supported by Access Info Europe and 26 other civil society organisations from around the world.<\/p>\n

According to the TAP Network, a lack of transparent and accountable governance has cost developing and emerging economies $6.6 trillion USD (\u20ac5.5 trillion) over the past decade alone.<\/p>\n

The TAP Network paper<\/a>, disseminated to all UN Missions on 9 April 2015, but still open for sign-on by civil society groups, sets out six key recommendations in order to ensure effective, transparent, and accountable governance as part of a post-2015 sustainable development agenda:
\n\u00bb\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>Full transparency of revenues, allocation, spending, contracting and results data and statistics, at all levels.
\n\u00bb\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>Ensure inclusive and meaningful public participation at all stages of financing and governance processes.
\n\u00bb\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>Promote a common standard for reporting sustainable development resource flows at all levels, and establish a global and national tracking system to report spending and results achieved towards each of the SDGs.
\n\u00bb\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>Ensure effective and accountable institutions and enhance delivery of public goods and services through progressive tax measures and commitments to end illicit financial flows.
\n\u00bb\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>Substantially reduce corruption and bribery in all its forms and support accountable institutions at all levels.
\n\u00bb\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span>Invest in equipping citizens, legislators, public servants, entrepreneurs, and civil society to understand and use financial and development data effectively.<\/p>\n

Access Info Europe considers that the right of access to information is essential for citizens to fully realise their own development and defend their fundamental rights and basic freedoms.<\/p>\n

The recommendations made by the TAP network are fully in line with Access Info’s Open Government Standards<\/a> on transparency, participation, and accountability, which aim to define what an \u201copen government\u201d really is.<\/p>\n
