The Quest for Citizen-Led Accountability –
Looking into the State
Accountability and the State
• Lessons from experience and evidence
– Can’t do it on our own – need to work within the
accountability ecosystem
– IBP & GIFT – govt, civil society, donors, investors, IFAC
– In Brazil, INESC convinced deputies, Congress public
hearings
– In India, NCDHR campaign on diversion of funds took
off with intro of exp code, local and int’l media and
opposition legislators’ engagement
– In SA, TAC worked with the courts for ARVS (LRC, ACIJ)

Building Coalitions in Education
Learning lessons from Argentina, Burkina Faso, Dom Rep,
Ghana, India, Korea, Malawi, Palestine, SA, Tanzania
• In DR, CED engaged all presidential candidates in
Social & Political Pledge for 4% to educ’n
• In Ghana, SEND engaged local res coms to
monitor school feeding scheme -> improved village inf
• In Malawi, CSCfQBE conducted PETS & engaged govt
• In Palestine, student social audits, Min of Educ’n, ACC
• In SA, LRC w courts, Equal Educ’n w Treasury, PPFC
www.Internationalbudget.org 3
Catalyzing Accountability
• Depends on interaction and coordinated
action with the oversight system
• Symbiotic engagement of the legislature, SAI,
judiciary, media, cs, donors and
sympathetic insiders in govt
• CS can play an important role
where legislatures or SAIs are weak
• Start with what matters to people – e.g.
service delivery demand + different pathways
