Company Description
social accountability
The GPSA supports a new generation of collaborative social accountability practice.
The GPSA facilitates collaboration of civil society organizations with governments, and engagement of citizens in order to solve development problems, strengthen accountability and improve sector governance.
To achieve its goals, the GPSA provides programmatic, flexible grants to support coalitions led by civil society organizations (CSO) for collaborative social accountability. This process, supported by World Bank teams, engages civil society groups, public sector institutions and citizens in joint, iterative processes that embrace experimentation and support adaptive approaches.
The Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA) supports civil society and governments across the world to work together to solve critical governance challenges.
our mission and approach
At the GPSA, we believe that citizens and civil society organizations should be front and center in efforts to build our societies into more inclusive and resilient ones, and that governments ought to be accountable to citizens for the policies they make, the programs they design and deliver, and how they spend money. Our experience and learnings show that social accountability is more likely to be effective and sustainable when civil society’s work fits the public sector context and helps to transform it.
our theory of action
Through its grants, the GPSA facilitates collaboration of civil society organizations with governments, and engagement of citizens in joint, iterative problem solving in order to solve development problems, strengthen accountability and improve sector governance.
