It offers detailed and thorough discussion of how social accountability tools are used to objectively assess government service delivery performance and the mechanisms used for addressing service delivery deficits in constructive and collaborative processes between citizens and government actors. It also discusses how the social accountability practice can be sustained regularized and mainstreamed in government service delivery decisions.
