I recently attended the World Bank’s Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA) partners’ forum. The forum was a space for discussing how civil society can influence government accountability, and a chance to reflect on our evolving understanding of relationships between citizens and the state. I’ll focus on five key points that draw from the discussions at the GPSA forum and the International Budget Partnership’s (IBP’s) experience with citizen-led accountability.
