The most dramatic of these events is the “Arab Spring,” which has created an unprecedented opportunity for democratic and responsive government in the region but also sent a wake-up call to oppressive, “kleptocratic” regimes around the world – and a beacon of hope to their people. However, turning these revolutions into effective and efficient government will require that strong institutions and systems be developed, including transparent and accountable budget processes and systems that actively engage citizens.
Matukio ya kustaajabisha zaidi ni mapinduzi ya Arabuni ambayo yameweka fursa ya kipekee kwa Serikali za kidemokrasia na zinazojali hali halisi katika ukanda huo na pia kuziamsha usingizini Serikali nyingine kandamizi kwingineko duniani. Hata hivyo kutumia fursa ya mapinduzi haya kupata Serikali zenye kutimiza majukumu yake kwa uhakika na umakini si swala lelemama na linategemea kuwapo kwa taasisi na mifumo madhubuti, ikiwemo mifumo ya uwazi na wajibikaji ya kibajeti ambayo inawashirikisha raia.
