“…..Transparency, accountability, citizen’s voice.
Like gender and anticorruption before them, these are no longer just political issues, off limits to the World Bank as a nonpolitical organization. As you will see from these pages, they are part of how we define Open Development. Bob Zoellick sees at its root a need to ”Democratize Development.”
From citizen’s empowerment, to wikiresearch, to using SMS technology to monitor children’s weight, or check whether books and teachers arrive at schools, the goal is the same: to put development into the hands of people.
“….Open Development is powerful, it’s unstoppable, and it’s already transforming the way we look at development, governance, and citizens. And as it unfolds it brings with it a logic all its own. ….”
