Notes from Egypt: Power, Transparency and Accountability… and I’m Not Even in the Country Yet!

Archive - Pre 2015By adminJanuary 20, 20091 Comment

I’m back on the road this week, this time reporting on a visit to Cairo. Stalled at immigration control at Cairo International Airport, a run in with grumpy border guards has me thinking about accountability, rule of law… and the Bush legacy.

While the indefinite detentions at Guantanamo have (reasonably) gotten more attention, the stories collected…

New from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), an analysis of the “MCC effect” — the catch-all term for the American aid agency’s indirect impact via their big money, pay-for-performance approach to policy change in countries receiving aid.

Government Advertising as Soft Censorship

Archive - Pre 2015By adminJanuary 14, 20091 Comment

Drawing from local examples, a new report entitled Soft Censorship: How Governments around the Globe Use Money to Manipulate Media provides a global perspective on a transparency issue that is likely to continue despite changes in the media industry. Globally, the traditional print media industry is declining. With the rise of new forms of media,…
