WHY� In September 2010, as a conclusion of the High Level Meeting of the

United Nations General Assembly (GA) to assess progress towards the

8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) after the first decade since

their adoption, the GA acknowledged achievements around the

world and called on member States to:

– look at practices that have proven effective and are replicable

– support participatory, community-led strategies

– promote universal access to public and social services

– invest in basic services for health, education, water and sanitation

– ensure the full participation of all segments of society, including the poor and disadvantaged, in decision-making processes

– work towards transparent and accountable systems of governance at the national and international levels

� The UN Secretariat looks forward to further assist member States in this regard

INTRODUCTION AND WELCOMING REMARKS

WHICH TOPIC� Ways in which the public administration can engage citizens to enhance

accountability and prevent corruption in the delivery of public services1. Analyze the rationale and evidence base for it

• Are there net gains for the people and for the public sector from participatory approaches in this matter?

2. Have a broad vision and understanding of converging initiatives that come from

government or from non-government actors, and what is needed to combine and

articulate these

• What are the motivations, advantages and disadvantages from moving forward for each group of stakeholders?

• What capacities and conditions must exist as a minimum on each side?

3. Arrive at public policy and strategy recommendations

• Foster particular experiments or establish general institutions (principles, instruments, procedures, rules, management, enforcement, evaluation)?

• When and where to start? Which series of steps to take? How to proceed?

4. Identify international means to assist diverse stakeholders from interested countries in

finding answers to these questions in their own contexts, and to proceed accordingly

INTRODUCTION AND WELCOMING REMARKS

WHAT� This EGM seeks to gather high-quality elements to these aims, from:

– Knowledge and expertise of all participants• What has been put into practice in countries from all regions by governments, civil society

organizations (CSOs) and IOs (policy and practice)

• What has been documented, researched and evaluated by these development stakeholders

and by academic institutions (knowledge management)

• What are the human, technical, financial and normative resources needed and available (capacity building)

– Collective deliberations to advance understanding on:• What works in different conditions (context-related practices)

• What are the different factors of success or failure (enabling conditions)

• What series of steps may be taken by different development stakeholders and in cooperation with others , to foster results-oriented, useful/practical, reasonable-cost, and generalized and

lasting practices (effectiveness, practicality, cost-efficiency and institutionalization)

– Bottom-up (demand driven by citizens and civil society), top-down (supply driven by public

administrators)

– Local, national level

– Sector specific, cross-cutting through the public sector

INTRODUCTION AND WELCOMING REMARKS

HOW� Collective deliberation

� No keynote speakers or lecturers

� Through interactions and group discussions will get more than listing individual statements

� All persons attending this meeting are invited and expected to take part

very actively in the discussions� A leveled playing field

� Big care has been taken to select participants with diverse backgrounds and experiences

� To reach the substantive and procedural goals of this meeting it is

important that all honor three principles:1. Follow the program in an ordered manner

2. Remain focused on the central topic

3. Speak concisely

� A Chairperson for the meeting and moderators for each session to be

appointed by the group will help to achieve this

FOCUS: THREE CONSIDERATIONS OR CAVEATS

� Ways in which the public administration can engage citizens to enhance accountability and prevent corruption in the delivery ofpublic services

A. Government – citizens interactions• Emphasis on performance and responsiveness of public administration

• Orientation to public policy and strategy

• Lateral topics: citizens empowerment, civic rights, democratization of

government practices and institutions, organization of civil society

INTRODUCTION AND WELCOMING REMARKS

http://www.UNPAN.org/DPADM/9

B. Specifically geared to public services

• First approximation: services which the State or society determine that must be offered in a rather egalitarian fashion to all people

– Produced and delivered by the public sector or by other actors under State

control

• In three broad categories:– Government services (registrations, permits or licenses, tax management, justice

administration, safety and security, etc.)

– Infrastructure services (water and sanitation, energy, transportation, telecommunications, etc.)

– Social services (education, healthcare, community development, social protection, poverty support and alleviation, environmental care, etc.)

• To be determined: focus on the inter-phase between the service provider and the citizens, or to what degree also upstream in the production chain?

– Point of delivery? Procurement? Recruitment? Budgetary allocations? Planning

and programming?

C. Accountability and prevention of corruption

• How much different or inter-related?

• Just prevention, or also fighting of corruption?

• Expanding and deepening meanings of accountability

– Need for new terms or definitions?

• Theory AND practice

– Principles, norms, instruments, procedures, agencies, institutions

– Enforcement

– System design

ONE FINAL REMARK

� The nature of this Expert Group Meeting is to facilitate collective

thought through deliberation on the central topic

� Participants will without doubt face a paradox: the better they

succeed in deepening the discussion on these matters, the more

there will be to further deliberate

� Thus, time in the next two days will not only be a limited resource,

but clearly one in very short supply

� To continue a rich dialogue among all of you on this topic, after this

personal meeting, you will be invited to maintain, if interested, a

virtual dialogue through an ad hoc blog on internet that will prolong

your fruitful exchanges of information and knowledge
