The CCAGG (Concerned Citizens of Abra for Good Government) was formed in 1986 to monitor elections and government projects in Abra, Philippines. CCAGG grew from mobilizing communities at the municipal level to conducting third-party monitoring of infrastructure projects funded by the Community Employment Development Program. This involved training members, monitoring project implementation, and filing administrative charges for falsified completion reports. CCAGG's efforts helped mainstream transparency and accountability in Abra and expanded their monitoring to other sectors. Over time, CCAGG also broadened their reach to influence policies and programs at the regional, national, and international levels.
