Policy measures to prevent policy capture

This chapter provides guidance on mitigating risks of public decisions being captured. It highlights the relevance of a coherent and comprehensive approach to fostering a culture of integrity and accountability in public decision-making, and proposes four complementary strategies for mitigating capture risks: 1) ensuring decision-making processes that promote inclusiveness and social accountability 2) fostering transparency and access to information 3) enabling the external accountability of decision-makers through supreme audit institutions and regulatory enforcement agencies and 4) addressing capture risks through integrity measures at the organisational level.
