Through this Compass, Rasheed aims to point out the issues that the Government failed to refer to in its policy statement presented for a vote of confidence in order for future governments to highlight those issues.
One of the key elements necessary for the emergence of a civil state is strengthening the values of transparency and integrity as well as fighting corruption across all sectors of the state. Rasheed’s initiative for transparency and integrity (TI-Jordan) has come up with “Jordan Transparency Compass” to reveal the extent of the Government’s reference, in its policy statement presented for a vote of confidence, to pledges related to transparency and integrity – with the exception of recommendations related to developing and improving the performance of the Legislative, since the Government holds no power over the Legislative in the following:
- The Open Government Partnership.
- Commitments of the 2016 London Anti-Corruption Summit.
- Recommendations of the Shadow Report on the review of national progress towards Targets 4, 5, 10 of SDG Goal 16 for 2017.
- The assessment study of the National Integrity System 2016.
