18-21 May 2026 | Nairobi | Social Accountability

For whom?

This training is designed for civil society practitioners, NGO staff, community organisers, and governance advisors working on good governance, citizen participation, advocacy, and accountability, particularly those engaged with or supporting grassroots initiatives.

Why join

Participants gain a strong foundation in social accountability while working hands-on with proven tools and real-life cases. The residential format enables deep learning, peer exchange, and reflection, supporting participants to link social accountability action clearly to broader advocacy goals and institutional change.

What you will learn

• Understanding social accountability

  Core concepts, principles, and the link between social accountability, good governance, and a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA).

  
  

• Assessing the enabling environment

  Analysing conditions for effective social accountability, including Right to Information, opportunities for public participation, and policies and mechanisms for grievance redressal.

  
  

• Social accountability tools in practice

  An introduction to key tools from our Social Accountability Toolbox, including Community Score Cards, Citizen Report Cards, Social Audits, Public Hearings, and Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys (PETS).
