This publication by OECD presents the papers discussed at the Latin American Forum on Ensuring Transparency and Accountability in the Public Sector that took place on 5-6 December 2001. The Forum brought together more than 450 ministers, senators, senior government officials, business leaders, representatives of international organisations, non-government organisations and the media from OECD countries, Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Forum approved policy recommendations that reflect the shared experience of Member countries of the OECD and the Organization of American States. In addition, country papers provide practical solutions adapted to their particular administrative environments for policy-makers and a demanding civil society.
