Several steps can be taken to ensure individual and collective responsibility.  Strengthening legal dimension by promoting civil servants to follow rule of law in public expenditure and decision making will promote accountability.  Clear job description and well defined chain of command with adequate checks and balances will further ensure accountability.  External control through legislature and judiciary will also help strengthen accountability in the system.

Effective utilization of public finds is crucial to meet development goals

The Importance of Efficient use of Public Resources Effective utilization of public resources is critical to meeting development goals. Key programs in education and health are overwhelmingly conducted within the public sector.

Government ineffectiveness — in the form of waste, inefficiency and corruption — is largely responsible.  Reasons for under-utilization and mis-utilizations of funds:  • Corruption: The large sum of money earmarked from public activities are taken away by officials as well as politicians in form of bribes. This results i...
