Practical Guide to Social Accountability

This guide is a learning resource that aims to support the creation of a community of practitioners advocates and experts within the field of social accountability in sub-Saharan Africa. This guide aims to deepen understanding and foster a better appreciation of the concept of social accountability its potential for strengthening accountability in the region and the challenges that may be encountered in implementing social accountability initiatives in the West African context. It is my hope that the guide will serve as a catalyst for the development and adaptation of the concept of social accountability in sub-Saharan Africa by CSOs development practitioners local and central government agencies donors and all those interested in advancing accountability in Africa.
