However, for it to work efficiently and in a financially sustainable manner, there needs to be a better flow of information amongst public agencies. For example, without transparency on budget rules and awards of federal funds, regional governments will be hesitant to carry out social reform, as they fear federal funding may dry up leaving them with unfunded mandates. With more information, citizens will have a better view of the benefits to which they are entitled, while both regional and federal governments need to have better information on the income actually earned by individuals and households.
