Abstract

Evidence is critical in the formulation and communication of public policy. Policy-oriented research reflects not only a government’s or intergovernmental organization’s recognition of issues, and potential ways to address them, but also determines flows of public funds, progress on a range of connected policy issues, and the shape and form of programs that affect peoples’ lives. The final framework for accountability processes promotes principles of accountability most useful for informing the structuring of relationships with stakeholders, such as duties that may arise in explicit and tacit relationships, and measuring openness to change and innovation rather than ‘performance.’
