About the Workshop
Resources
Regional Workshop
Towards More Open and Transparent Governance in South Asia
Organised by the Indian Institute of Public Administration
In collaboration with The World Bank
New Delhi, April 27-29, 2010
The World Bank funded Governance Partnership Facility in the South Asia region is intended to support the promotion, establishment and strengthening of transparency regimes in countries of this region. Each country in the region is at a different stage of advancement of its governance agenda and transparency level. Sharing of best practices and ensuring coordination between the “demand” and “supply” of good governance are viewed as critical success factors to enhanced transparent regimes.
The workshop will be part of an overall consultation and planning process – with various components:
- Research and assessment of the status of the Right To Information in the various countries represented at the workshop conducted by practitioners with input from workshop delegates
- Presentations, panel discussions and working sessions during the workshop – including perspectives from international experts
- Identification of specific priorities and roles of various stakeholders
- Development of action plans to be carried out in the various countries
- Agreement on a common national “resolution” that can be used for advancing RTI efforts in each country and across the region
- Dialogue with supporters and donors and sharing of respective governance agendas
Throughout this whole process, we are expecting active engagement and contributions from participants and continuous commitment so that we collectively meet the objectives set for the workshop, and each country delegation has actionable priorities and a process within which to implement them.
At the end of the process, the various participants will have increased knowledge, resources and a support group to carry out their work within their respective countries and will be able to leverage a Regional and International pool of experienced and committed leaders on transparency.
