The American Transparency Project (ATP) is dedicated to fostering an unprecedented level of transparency and accountability within the United States Federal Government.
The American Transparency Project stands for the principle that a transparent government is an accountable government. We are committed to lighting the path towards a more open, responsive, and trustworthy federal framework where every citizen can understand, influence, and benefit from governmental actions.
Mission
Our mission is to:
- Promote Openness: We aim to dismantle the opacity of the Administrative State by advocating for the creation of a comprehensive, public-facing repository of information. This digital platform, akin to a wiki, will serve as a dynamic tool for both the administration and the public to explore, understand, and engage with:
- Federal Agencies: Details about all federal agencies, their subcomponents, roles, responsibilities, and the scope of their operations.
- Funding Transparency: Clear, accessible information on how these agencies are funded, including breakdowns of expenditures and budgets.
- Collaborative Networks: Insight into the organizations funded by or partnered with these agencies, whether they are other governmental bodies, NGOs, or private sector entities.
- Enhance Public Trust: Public agencies are custodians of public trust. By ensuring transparency in their processes and operations, we uphold this trust, enabling citizens to see how their government functions, spends, and impacts their lives.
- Support Stewardship: The Administration commits to being judicious stewards of federal resources. Through transparency, we will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of federal investments, adapting to global changes while maintaining accountability.
- Facilitate Accountability: By making federal activities transparent, ATP will help ensure that government operations are accountable to the public, fostering a culture where efficiency, ethical behavior, and public service are not only expected but are visibly demonstrated.
- Drive Informed Engagement: We will empower citizens, policymakers, and stakeholders with the information necessary to engage constructively with government processes, enhancing democracy through informed participation.
