The governments worldwide have been approaching toward more open and out-and-out reporting of their performance, yet regardless of this Kosovo’s governments throughout the years lack this approach. Measuring the performance of government lend a hand to shed light on and define government objectives and responsibilities as well as making performance more transparent through enlightening the public. Government work reports based on their performance should be an indicator for their continuing performance improvements, by calling attention to the upcoming improvements in addition to the objectives set up previously in the work plan.
Over the last 5 years in this regard, accountability and openness are moving towards the real definition of transparency, Kosovo still has work to do. This is because they do not provide information and even access on which the public can hold the government accountable. The transition from one government to another and the institutional vacuums created, may be a factor of the problem but it does not stand as basis for an excuse.
A Good Government should be defined by openness, therefore this policy note will give a background and an understanding of the problems regarding Government taking responsibility towards its citizens when reporting on their work and performance. This policy note will include how is the government reporting established considering the work plan as well and the legal framework regarding the reporting of government work will be elaborated.
