Viet Nam RTI law / Myanmar dirty finances / Governance and development

Ensuring the right to information in Vietnam — one step of many (Blog).  “While Vietnam has recently strengthened citizens’ right to information through the legal framework, there is still a long way towards effective implementation. Most state agencies are still not saying how information can be requested, many local government employees have not been trained to process information requests and not enough citizens have been made aware of their rights.”

Myanmar fails to clean up its dirty finances. “To be sure, important progress has been made on several fronts. For instance, the government has initiated key reforms in improving bank governance, tackling corruption and mandating greater corporate disclosure including over company ownership.”

Governance and development (Opinion).  “Good governance ensures transparency and accountability of institutions which is necessary for the development of any country in the long run.”
