The Dominican Republic

In 2000 the government of the Dominican Republic had a tremendous capacity gap impeding its ability to conduct its daily affairs and relations with its citizens. The country was dealing with an obsolete model of state management. It presented clear hindrances clogging various administrative units, thus pushing common Dominican citizens far away from a democratic and participative society. In 2006 as various calls from civil society started to grow louder clamoring for greater effectiveness, transparency and accountability with government institutions, the administration of the time decided to implement institutional reforms to improve transparency and accountability.
