Global Transparency Initiative (GTI) Comments on World Bank Disclosure
Proposal, Offers Model Policy
The Global Transparency Initiative (GTI) has filed comments critical of
World Bank's preliminary proposal to rewrite its disclosure policy and also
suggested a "model policy" alternative. Despite praising the Bank's movement
toward a system more like good national right-to-know statutes, the GTI
identified "a number of shortcomings" in the "approach paper" advanced by
the Bank. The GTI is a network of civil society organizations promoting
openness at the international financial institutions.
