This document discusses social accountability and its importance in governance. It defines social accountability as an approach that relies on civic engagement where citizens directly or indirectly exact accountability from power holders.

When implemented effectively, social accountability can improve governance, reduce poverty, empower citizens, enhance transparency, and strengthen public sector reforms. However, it also carries risks such as raised citizen expectations not being met or lack of sustainability. The document emphasizes that social accountability works best when the political context supports citizen participation.

State of social accountability in south asia
This document provides an overview of social accountability in South Asia. It defines social accountability as an approach that relies on civic engagement to hold governments accountable from the bottom up. Social accountability is important for good governance, empowerment, and development effectiveness. The elements of social accountability include engaging communities, collecting and analyzing information, undertaking accountability efforts with governments, and using information to enhance accountability. In Pakistan, social accountability has roots back to 1995 but faces challenges like government resistance, weak right to information laws, and lack of accountability among civil society groups. Opportunities include a responsible judiciary, vibrant media, and receptive political parties. The right to information is an important tool for social accountability by allowing citizens to demand transparency from the state.

Lessons Learnt from social accountability initiatives in West Africa
Lessons Learnt from social accountability initiatives in West AfricaNGNAOUSSI ELONGUE Cedric Christian
In the failure of the formal accountability channels, social accountability is slowly becoming an effective response to governance deficit. Understanding good governance is a prerequisite to understand social accountability. Social Accountability is an approach towards enforcing & building accountability that relies on civic engagement in which citizens participate directly or indirectly in demanding accountability from service providers and public officials.
Accountability is no longer between the state only and citizens. Non state, national and transnational actors are now, heavily involved in all stages of the production of public goods.
The influence of corporate interests in the provision of public goods and services, as well as the entry of several unregulated providers poses a big threat to accountability and inclusion.
The strategies below represent the practical ways in which CSOs have applied the notion of social accountability to the context and issues of concern to their members, constituents and beneficiaries.

The work of social accountability is not a sprint but marathon.Accountability, Citizen Voice and Public Service Delivery
1. After a decade of decentralization in Indonesia, sub-national service quality remains low and community needs have failed to shape government priorities, despite higher funding levels not improving local outcomes.
2. Poor service delivery is not due to a lack of capacity, authority or resources at the local level, but because local government staff and frontline workers lack incentives and accountability for their performance.
3. Reforms are needed to improve local government efficiency and responsiveness to local needs through stronger community engagement and social accountability, as well as incentives for good performance by frontline public servants.
Alternative financing models to strengthen third sector resilience in Africa
Alternative financing models to strengthen third sector resilience in AfricaNGNAOUSSI ELONGUE Cedric Christian
COVID-19 has seriously tested the resiliency and sustainability of organisations, especially those in the nonprofit sector. The pandemic has further exacerbated their already precarious state and many Civil society organisations (CSOs) are under immense pressure to operate, survive, and thrive, while maintaining independence and continually generating funds to pursue planned operations and command strong recognition and influence.
They have been forced to adapt or to abandon the game, to face adversity through innovation or to fail while trying. Organisational and individual preparedness to manage change was tested also and many had to unlearn and relearn, to find new ways of working and developing resilience amidst the pandemic.
Since financing is a key pillar of organizational sustainability, I was invited to strengthen participants understanding, knowledge and practice in mobilizing resources more creatively. Aside the traditional channel of funding, there are 12 proven models of mobilizing resources for any civil society organisations in Africa, no matter its size, staff or strength.

BAWKU PRESENTATIOM-THE ROLE OF CITIZENS IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE-2
Citizens play an important role in promoting social accountability of government. Social accountability involves citizens actively participating in development decisions that affect them and demanding effective, efficient and equitable public service delivery using mechanisms like social audits and citizen scorecards. Citizens have the right to be informed, organize, and participate in decisions. Challenges local governments face include low capacity and weak resources. Citizens and civil society organizations can work to promote social accountability by building coalitions, collecting information, identifying issues, and advocating for productive change with government. Their role is important to achieve good governance and prioritize community development projects.

Social audits are conducted over the lifespan of a project or program. The methodology involves 6 steps: defining boundaries, identifying stakeholders, data collection, verifying findings, public meetings, and institutionalizing social audits. An example social audit of a mid-day meal scheme in schools is provided. Social audits are recognized as an important tool to improve program performance monitoring and
Is Levelling-up Dead?
David Fellows argues that the concept of "levelling-up" proposed by the UK government to address regional inequality is in danger of becoming defunct. He defines levelling-up as offering equal opportunities regardless of background or place. However, he claims that without meaningful business development in regional areas, levelling-up will fail. He proposes several measures the government could take to stimulate regional business, including mapping industry landscapes, supporting businesses, and encouraging compatible business clusters. However, he remains skeptical that the government has the ambition, collaboration, or experience to truly achieve levelling-up given entrenched interests that favor London and surrounding areas.

Participatory Governance
This PPT delivered to Students of Nirma University exaplains basic concept, history and principles of Participatory Governance
Good Governance Leads to a Flourishing Society
Governance refers to the processes of decision-making and implementation. There are different levels of governance from rural to national. Actors involved in governance vary by level and can influence decisions. Good governance focuses on having the best decision-making processes rather than outcomes alone. It aims to minimize corruption, be responsive and inclusive, and follow the rule of law. Characteristics of good governance include being participatory, transparent, responsive, consensus-oriented, equitable, and inclusive. Good governance is said to lead to a flourishing society where people feel they have a stake and are not excluded from institutions that aim to serve all stakeholders.
New Public Service
The document discusses the New Public Service movement, which asserts that the primary role of public servants is to help citizens articulate and meet their shared interests through democratic processes rather than attempting to control society. It outlines the theoretical roots of the NPS in democratic citizenship, community and civil society models, organizational humanism, and postmodernism. The document then describes seven principles of the NPS, including serving citizens rather than customers, seeking the public interest, valuing citizenship over entrepreneurship, thinking strategically while acting democratically, having a nuanced view of accountability, serving rather than steering society, and valuing people over just productivity.
Public Service
The document discusses issues with public services in Indonesia, including low quality, bureaucratic problems, and unclear systems.

Delivery of public services the way forward
The document discusses improving public service delivery in India. It outlines several key points:
1) Public services are those provided by the government to citizens, either directly or by financing private services. The government has an important role in ensuring basic services and standards of living.
2) Both public and private sectors deliver services, but they differ in their relationships with customers. Public services sometimes have less competition and more indirect customer relationships.
3) Models like SEVOTTAM and ETVX have been proposed to standardize, monitor and improve public services by defining standards, roles and accountability. However, implementation has remained a challenge.
4) Technology and transparency can help make services more equal and accountable

Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.
Chapter - 1
The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th

2. There are four main accountability systems - bureaucratic (internal, high control), legal (external, high control), professional (internal, low control), and political (external, low control). Each has a different relationship between the controller and administrator.

Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.

The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th
social accountability
This document discusses concepts and tools related to social accountability and participatory public expenditure management.

Social Accountability_Jeff Thindwa_10.16.13
This document outlines an organizing framework for social accountability. Social accountability relies on civic engagement and operationalizes direct accountability relationships between citizens and the state. It aims to improve the enabling environment for citizen engagement in governance and public decision-making. This is done by increasing the capacity of the state to respond to public needs through effective oversight and redress. It also improves the capability of citizens to engage in governance and enhances the capacity of social intermediaries to provide effective participation and oversight. The framework focuses on transparency, participation, and collaboration between government, citizens, and civil society as key conditions for social accountability.
SDG 16.6.pptx
SDG 16.6 aims to develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels of government. Key aspects include the ability of governments to implement budgets accurately and deliver public services as planned, while accountability institutions help bridge gaps between stakeholders and decision makers. Transparency minimizes corruption and ensures diverse voices are heard in decision making. Effective implementation requires localizing SDG 16.6, strengthening access to information and civic engagement, and increasing financing through taxation while ensuring inclusive stakeholder participation in governance. Challenges to achieving SDG 16.6 include lack of state-citizen engagement, weak legislative frameworks, and public sector corruption.
Camargo baez on Participatory Approaches
This document discusses conceptual and evidence-based guidelines for participatory approaches to improve accountability in public services. It defines key concepts like social accountability, voice, enforceability, and answerability. Effective social accountability requires these three elements to form a cycle of citizen participation, response from authorities, and enforcement. Case studies from Mexico and Tanzania show how the local context impacts initiatives. Lessons indicate participation alone is not enough and accountability outcomes require supportive public sectors and access to information. Challenges and opportunities in the MENA region relate to mobilized citizens, state-building, and ensuring sustainability through contextualization.

Accountability & transparency and good governance 28 08-2011
The document discusses accountability, transparency, and their impact on public administration. It defines accountability as the obligation of public officials to report on the use of public resources and be answerable for failing to meet objectives. Transparency involves sharing information about government decisions and activities through open records and access to information. When governments are accountable and transparent, it reduces corruption, ensures optimal use of resources, and builds public trust. The implementation of accountability requires measures across procurement, financial management, disclosure, civil society involvement, complaints processes, codes of conduct, and sanctions.
Accountability & transparency 05 12-2012
Accountability and transparency in public administration can lead to good governance. They are prerequisites for public trust. When governments are transparent, with open budgets and financial statements, and officials are accountable for their actions and use of resources, it reduces corruption and maladministration. This builds integrity and legitimacy in government. However, corruption in the public sector, like in public works projects, can have large economic and human costs if transparency and accountability measures are not implemented properly.

Governance refers to the processes of governing and decision making, and involves interactions between formal institutions and citizens. There are three main styles of governance: hierarchical, market-based, and network-based. Hierarchical governance follows a strict top-down structure, while market governance incorporates private sector principles and network governance emphasizes collaboration between multiple actors. Good governance is participatory, follows the rule of law, is transparent, responsive, consensus-oriented, equitable and inclusive, effective and efficient, and ensures accountability. It requires the involvement of citizens in policymaking through various forms of participation, engagement, and partnership to be citizen-centered.

Fighting corruption from one or two sides govt and cso roberto villarreal
The document discusses opportunities and challenges for cooperation between governments and civil society in anti-corruption strategies. It notes that while such cooperation is promoted internationally, governments and civil society may not always see eye to eye on corruption issues. The participation of civil society can take many forms, providing information, resources, and incentives to governments. However, the goals and methods of the two groups may not be fully aligned. Effective cooperation requires understanding differences and building trust and capacity over time.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Social Accountability Reiner Forster, SDV January 25th, 2005 Enhancing citizen voice and client focus in governance and service delivery Note: This interactive learning module, designed by Social Impact, was commissioned by the World Bank’s PREM Poverty Group and developed in collaboration with SDV, WBI and the PREM Public Sector Group. Supported by a concept paper, it is a generic introductory-level module which may be adapted to suit different target audiences and time frames.
- 2. What is Accountability? • Accountability is the obligation of power- holders to account for or take responsibility for their actions. • Power-holders: holding political, financial or other forms of power, e.g. public officials, private employers, donors, service providers, traditional leaders, NGOs. • Key area: government or public accountability • builds on the implicit ‘social contract‘ between citizens and public officials. • obligation of public officials and the right/ entitlement of citizens
- 3. What are public officials responsible for? • Their conduct—they must obey the law, rules, procedures and not abuse their powers. • Their performance—they must serve the public interest in an efficient, effective and fair manner. • All states have some form of mechanisms to promote or ensure accountability of public actors.
- 4. How can accountability be ensured ?1. Rules and Regulations – administrative procedures, audits, code of conduct… 2. Bring in Market Principles – privatization or contracting out to private sector and NGOs 3. Independent Agencies – ombudsman, vigilance committees … There has been vary- ing success with these. What has been learnt is that suc- cess often depends on direct parti- cipation of the people 4. “Social Accountability”
- 5. What is Social Accountability?SAc is an approach towards building accountability • that relies on civic engagement, • where ordinary citizens and/or their organizations participate directly or indirectly in exacting accountability SAc mechanisms can be initiated and supported by the state, citizens or both, but very often they are demand-driven and operate from the bottom up. SAc mechanisms include many actions and tools that citizens, NGOs and media can use to hold public authorities accountable.

- 15. Final Thoughts 1. Social accountability has potential to improve the responsiveness of governments and other power holders to the needs of local people – especially those with ‘less voice’. 2. There is a wide range of social accountability mechanisms arising from specific needs, power relations and a desire for improving services. All sectors/regions have some relevant experience. 3. Each social accountability mechanism has a specific social, political and economic context with attendant benefits and risks. The success of one mechanism in a local context in no way
