Transparency—another of our core values—is an essential element of accountability. We strive to make our projects as transparent as possible, involving all relevant stakeholders and policymakers in our processes to ensure maximum buy in. Furthermore, transparency is a key business best practice, whether in accounting standards or management decision-making. To promote private sector investment, we encourage our local partner institutions to adopt transparent business models. Providing accurate information demonstrates to investors that the enterprise is sound and legitimate, thus decreasing perceived risk.
