Abstract

Transparency and accountability initiatives (TAIs) have emerged as a key strategy for improving public services, but the links between transparency and accountability and their impact on service delivery are often largely assumed. This article reviews a range of TAIs to assess their impact. It finds a mass of evidence suggesting that a range of accountability initiatives have been effective in their immediate goals, and that there is also strong evidence of impact on public services in a range of cases, but that evidence of impact on the quality and accessibility of services is more mixed.
