Accountability ecosystems political economy analysis: Kiribati country study

“Strong accountability measures throughout Kiribati are buttressed at multiple levels. Social closeness and the eminence of churches and traditional leaders encourage egalitarian and communal customs, both through appeals to local values and the natural oversight that comes with living in close communities. While in the public service, private sector and civil society, robust legislation and accountability institutions help identify impropriety and work collaboratively with individuals and organisations to improve their own accountability practices.”
