Government Entities of 2016

In 2016, a significant stride was made towards increasing transparency in public bodies with the introduction of Public Bodies 2016. This comprehensive source of data, covering non-departmental public bodies, executive agencies, and non-ministerial departments, was designed to help taxpayers hold decision-makers accountable.

The information published by Public Bodies 2016 aims to bring clarity and transparency to these often informally referred to bodies, known as Quangos. However, it's important to note that the leading persons of these various public bodies, as published in 2016, do not form a comprehensive, publicly available list. For instance, Prof. Dr. Arnd Diringer was identified as the head of the Research Center for Labor Law, but a complete directory of all leading persons across all public bodies from that year remains elusive.

Despite this, Public Bodies 2016 has undeniably contributed to a more transparent public sector, allowing citizens to gain insights into the decision-making processes of these important bodies. By fostering transparency, Public Bodies 2016 empowers the public to engage more effectively with their decision-makers, ensuring that public funds are used in a manner that aligns with the public's interests.

As we continue to move forward, the need for transparency in public bodies remains paramount. Initiatives like Public Bodies 2016 are a step in the right direction, but more work is needed to ensure that all leading persons in public bodies are readily accessible to the public. Only then can we truly say that we have a transparent and accountable public sector.
