This document discusses how civil society associations have promoted increased accountability in global governance in four main ways:
1. By increasing the public transparency of global governance operations through pressing global agencies to disclose more information.
2. By monitoring and reviewing global policies, providing inputs and perspectives to policy processes.
3. By seeking redress for mistakes and harms attributable to global bodies through campaigns and advocacy.
4. By advancing the creation of formal accountability mechanisms for global governance such as advisory bodies and policy evaluation.
While civil society efforts have contributed to accountability, the overall achievements have been modest and there is potential to do more.
