What is the Transparency of Local Authorities in Latvia and Norway?

Conversation between Mr Olafs Grigus (Transparency International LATVIA researcher) and Mr Tor Dølvik (Transparency International NORWAY special advisor). Experts discuss why it is important for every member of a democratic society to think about transparency, especially in their local authorities in Latvia and Norway. Experts also discuss how municipalities can use "Transparency Index of Local Authorities" to improve their work and promote public participation. On November 30, 2021 Transparency International Latvia ("Sabiedrība par atklātību – Delna") and TI Norway presented the results of the Transparency Index of Local Authorities.
