Läbinägelikkus

Läbinägelikkus is an Estonian term that translates to transparency or visibility. It refers to the quality of being open, clear, and easily understood, especially in the context of organizations, governments, or processes. The concept emphasizes that information should be accessible to the public and that decision-making should be conducted in an open manner. This allows for greater accountability and trust among stakeholders.

In practice, läbinägelikkus can manifest in various ways. For governmental bodies, it might involve publishing meeting minutes, budget details, and policy documents. For businesses, it could mean disclosing financial performance, ethical practices, and supply chain information. The principle is that by making information readily available and understandable, individuals and groups can better evaluate actions, identify potential issues, and participate more effectively in democratic or economic processes.

The opposite of läbinägelikkus would be opacity or secrecy, where information is deliberately withheld or obscured. Achieving a high degree of läbinägelikkus often requires dedicated policies, technological solutions for information dissemination, and a commitment to open communication from those in positions of authority. It is considered a fundamental aspect of good governance and ethical conduct in many modern societies.
