36. Accessibility
Disseminate complete fiscal information and all other relevant data, easy for all to
access, understand, and to use, re-use and transform, namely in open data formats.
Openness
Provide full information on and be responsive with respect to the purpose, scope,
constraints, intended outcomes, process and timelines, as well as the expected and
actual results of public participation.
Inclusiveness
Proactively engage citizens and non-state actors, including excluded & vulnerable
groups & individuals, & voices that are seldom heard, without discrimination &
consider public inputs on an objective basis irrespective of their source.

37. Respect for self-expression
Allow articulate their interests in their own ways, and to choose means of
engagement that they prefer. There may be groups that have standing to
speak on behalf of others.
Timeliness
Sufficient time in the budget and policy cycles for inputs in each phase; while a
range of options is still open; and, where desirable, allow for more than one
round of engagement.
Depth
Provide information about key policy objectives, options, choices and trade-
offs, potential impacts, and incorporate a diversity of perspectives; provide
feedback on public inputs and how they have been incorporated.
Proportionality
Use a mix of engagement mechanisms proportionate to the scale and
impact of the issue or policy concerned.

38. Sustainability
On-going and regular engagement to increase knowledge sharing and mutual
trust over time; institutionalize public participation; feedback provided leads to
revision of the fiscal policy decisions; and regularly review and evaluate
experience to improve future engagement.
Complementarity
Ensure mechanisms for public participation and citizen engagement
complement and increase the effectiveness of existing governance and
accountability systems.
Reciprocity
All state and non-state entities should be open about their mission, the interests
they seek to advance, and who they represent; respect all agreed; cooperate to
achieve objectives.
