2.4: Websites
Open the Doors on UN Websites. Other Information:
UN websites provide much information about what the UN does, but much less user-friendly information about how it does it.
It is far too difficult to access usable information about budgets, personnel, pay, audits and the like. Meanwhile, governments
and NGOs around the world are reaching for unprecedented levels of public openness on their websites. At sites such as www.opendoor.ky.gov
(Kentucky), www.recovery.gov (U.S.), and www.dfid.gov.uk, ordinary citizens can easily find detailed data on how public money
is spent, how much employees are paid, and what contracts have been awarded. As the world’s preeminent international organization,
the UN system should lead these efforts.
