This report contains the key findings from having reviewed more than 100 projects
and having interviewed dozens of practitioners in Central and Eastern Europe, East
Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia,
the former Soviet Union, and Sub-Saharan Africa who use new technologies as a
means to increase transparency and accountability. This summary helps to ‘take
the pulse‘ of the Technology for Transparency and Accountability movement and
suggests both exciting possibilities for scaling impact as well as important caveats
and challenges.
