Example from Uganda
51
In the international cooperation
52
There does not exist any structure that is clear and efficient regarding the financial activities within the cooperation.
53
Politicians are accounibles to the voters Politicians are accountible to the voters for the public fundings In NGOs the board is accountible to the members
54
In international cooperation it is difficult to hold the politicians accountible to the voters. A donorstate is financing. But the decisions are taken by the authority in charge – Sida in Sweden. The voters can hardly make the authority accountible. Who is responsible?
55
The voters do not know the quantity of the resources or what level of funds has been handed over, nor the priorities of the cooperation.
56
Regarding NGOs The donors are financing, not the members of the NGO.
57
Seldom you will find members of the NGO.
58
The executives of the NGOs have created a world well closed and without access and without clear distribution of responsibilities.
59
What to do? The donors have to demand more of accountability and transparency.
