“…..Transparency, accountability, citizen’s voice.****

** **

 Like gender and anticorruption before them, these are no longer just
political issues, off limits to the World Bank as a nonpolitical
organization. As you will see from these pages, they are part of how we
define Open Development. Bob Zoellick sees at its root a need to
”Democratize Development.” ****

** **

>From citizen’s empowerment, to *wikiresearch*, to using SMS technology to
monitor children’s weight, or check whether books and teachers arrive at
schools, the goal is the same: to put development into the hands of people.*

“….Open Development is powerful, it’s unstoppable, and it’s already
transforming the way we look at development, governance, and citizens. And
as it unfolds it brings with it a logic all its own. ….”****
