Requiring civic accountability

Setting conditions on lawful behaviour

Description

Requiring civic accountability involves implementing mechanisms that ensure individuals, organizations, and public officials are answerable for their actions and decisions affecting the community. This strategy includes transparent reporting, regular audits, and enforceable consequences for misconduct. Its practical intent is to deter corruption, misuse of resources, and negligence, thereby fostering trust, ethical governance, and responsible participation. By holding all actors accountable, it remedies systemic abuses and strengthens the integrity of civic institutions.
