Central Role of Accountability

    institutions, towards civil society, towards
    citizens

    credibility ? first step towards better
    accountability?

    results-orientation

    administration
  • Reforms started very simple and took 10 yrs
  • Very top-down, ownership quite narrow at the
    outset
