About

The E-Camp: Social Accountability for Better Education Services aims to amplify the importance of citizen-government engagement in the discussion, implementation and monitoring of the education MDG.

Specifically, the 3-day regional event will gather education advocates, supporters and stakeholders from civil society, government and international development partners to:

  • share knowledge on citizen-led initiatives to monitor school services and opportunities for constructive engagement with government;
  • harness a community of education monitors and advocates in the region; and
  • draft an action agenda to strengthen citizen engagement as an approach to achieving the education development goal.

Methodology

The three-day gathering will be conducted through the “unconference” approach. The “unconference approach” is an open-space, self-organizing, participant-led event. It is expected to stimulate new insights and innovative ideas.
