Transparency cannot be achieved by simply making budgets publicly available, but not making the data accessible. In order for members of affected communities and civil society to work together with governments to find workable long-term solutions that promote sustainability, there is also a need for education with respect to understanding budgets and budgetary processes, as well as true participation by affected communities in the decision-making processes.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation
