Description
Summary:Governments need to ensure that public officials perform their duties in a fair and unbiased way. The pressure comes from a society and a business community that are increasingly well-informed, and specifically from a general demand for unbiased and transparent public decision-making.

Selected country case studies give more details on the implementation of policies in national contexts and on key elements of legal and institutional frameworks
