Accountability is a key requirement of good governance. Not only
Governmental institutions but also the private sector and civil society organizations must
Be accountable to the public and to their institutional stakeholders. Who is
Accountable to whom varies depending on whether decisions or actions taken are
Internal or external to an organization or institution. In general an organization or an
Institution is accountable to those who will be affected by its decisions or actions.
Accountability cannot be enforced without transparency and the rule of law.
