1. Community Based Performance Monitoring (CBPM), also known as Citizen Voice and Action (CVA), is a social accountability approach that was first piloted in Malawi and later developed by the World Bank. 2. CBPM aims to strengthen the relationship between citizens and government by facilitating dialogue and feedback on public services, policies, and development plans to improve service delivery and outcomes. 3. The CBPM process involves citizens gathering and sharing information with each other and the government to advocate for their rights and hold the government accountable for providing quality services.
