Question

Discuss two accountability mechanisms (incl. statutory bodies) under TPA and two under

NPM, what are their rationale(s) and expected benefits (why they are in place), and how

they are a response to the previous state of practice (i.e. what issue are they trying to

address). (Each example is worth 5 points)

Answer 1

Accountability mechanism under transparency, participation, and accountability.

1. Citizen-centered accountability mechanism - this is the mechanism that allows the involvement of citizens in the decision-making process by providing feedback on the products and services they desire and holding them to account. An example is a national election where citizens are responsible for deciding their leaders by voting for them.

2. Transitioning mechanism - this is where the employee role and responsibilities are elaborated and agreed upon from the start of the project. An example is in the public hospitals where every health worker has a clear job responsibility based on the professional. The accountability mechanism is expected to help in controlling corruption and promote integrity in the society and also secure long-term fundings of the project.

2. Motivation mechanism - the mechanism used to appreciate the best performance in the organization.
