Welcome to the second Global Partners

Forum of the Global Partnership for

Social Accountability (GPSA). Following

on last year’s memorable Global Partners

Forum, we received your feedback and have

designed this event as a space for you to

shape the future of the field of social

accountability.

Since July 2012, when the World Bank’s

Board of Directors established the GPSA, we

have strived to impact the way civil society

and governments work together to solve

critical governance challenges in developing

countries by enhancing citizen voice and

supporting responsive governments.

Partnerships have played – and will continue

to play – a leading role in shaping the GPSA.

We are proud to work with more than 250

Global Partners across various sectors, such

as health, education, social protection, water,

and on issues such as public sector

procurement and budget transparency.

We designed this Global Partners Forum to

bring together our partners from civil society,

academia, businesses and governments

from around the globe, creating a unique

space to reflect on social accountability

theory and practice, and to shape the social

accountability agenda for years to come. Last

year, the Forum convened with less than 150

Global Partners to examine the evidence,

and to explore “What Works in Social

Accountability”: strategies, methods, tools, as

well as concepts and insights.

This year, the Forum will focus on shifting the

paradigm in social accountability towards a

citizen-centric governance approach. We

feature thought-provoking workshops that will

work around integrating 14 global case

studies in key sectors and dimensions. And

for the first time, the GPSA will be

recognizing individuals for their outstanding

work on the ground with our GPSA Award

for Leadership in Social Accountability.

The work of the GPSA is central to the

mission of the World Bank and to our twin

goals of eradicating poverty and fostering

shared prosperity. We are honored to have

you here, and hope we will have a truly

inspirational two days together.

The GPSA Partners Forum brings together civil society organizations, academia, businesses and governments from all around the globe, providing an important and unique space to reflect on social accountability theory and practice, and define together the future social accountability agenda.

This 2015 Partners Forum will focus on the shifting paradigm in social accountability towards a citizen-centric governance approach. We will explore how the emerging concept of ‘strategic’ social accountability will play an important role in how citizen-centered governance is realized. The Forum will explore strategic social accountability practice and learning in key sectors such as health, education, municipal services, extractives and others. Topical issues for strategic social accountability practice such as political economy interventions, constructive engagement, coalition building, citizen trust, and others, will be deliberated.

A highlight of the Forum will be the presence of the World Bank Group President, Jim Yong Kim, for a direct dialogue with GPSA partners, and the presentation of the GPSA Leadership in Social Accountability Awards.

EDUCATIONChair: Harry Patrinos, Education Global Practice, World Bank

Presenters: Guillaume Labrecque, International Rescue Committee & Victoria

Vlad, Expert Grup

In this session, two projects in education sectors are highlighted. Scorecard interface meetings as part of International Rescue Committee’s (IRC) project in DRC fostered linkages between communities, frontline service providers, sub-provincial line ministries and nascent decentralized local government bodies. Expert Grup’s project in Moldova is focused on empowering Moldovan citizens to engage local, regional and national authorities in education reform dialogue through public hearings, community cards and independent budget analysis.

INFRASTRUCTURE (ROADS)Chair: Jose Luis Irigoyen, Director, Transport & ICT Global Practice, World Bank

Presenters: Samuel Paul, Public Affairs Center & Jibrin Ali-Giginyu, The State

Accountability and Voice Initiative

The projects discussed in this session demonstrate how social accountability can lead to improvements in infrastructure. Public Affairs Center’s (PAC) implemented in India devised simple monitoring tools that citizens could use to monitor roads before and after construction followed by engagement with authorities to effect changes. Similarly, The State Accountability and Voice Initiative’s (SAVI) project in Nigeria aimed at empowering Community Based Organizations (CBO) to monitor government infrastructure projects in their localities and engage with them to solve local problems.

MUNICIPAL SERVICES Chair: Anna Wellenstein, Practice Manager, Urban, Rural & Social Development

Global Practice, World Bank

Presenters: Hagai Agmon-Snir, JICC & Cecilia Forrestal, CAN

The session highlights two case studies that use social accountability to improve municipal services. The goal of Community Action Network (CAN)’s project in Ireland was to empower residents of the Dolphin House – the largest local authority complex in Ireland – to challenge poor housing conditions. The project presents a great example of how capacity building of people and community can change power relationship among various stakeholders. Jerusalem Intercultural Center’s (JICC) project in Israel also aimed to empower city residents by training them to register a complaint and subsequently to engage with public officials to improve municipal services in their neighborhoods.

WATER

Chair: Jennifer Sara, Director, Water Global Practice, World Bank

Presenters: Rasha Alyatim, AIRJ & Madina Aliberdieva, Oxfam

The cases in the session show how social accountability activities have improved supply and quality of water to citizens. Integrity Action (IA) in collaboration with Applied Research Institute Jerusalem (ARIJ) established Hebron Committee for Better Services in the Hebron city of West Bank Gaza to address issues of water shortage and unfair water allocation by providing all stakeholders with space to constructively engage and share information. Similarly, Oxfam in Tajikistan collected information and brought together all relevant stakeholders to discuss issues of service reliability and quality.

HEALTH Chair: Daniel Cotlear, Lead Economist, Health, Nutrition & Population Global Practice, World Bank

Presenters: Richard S. Mugenyi, Reproductive Health Uganda & Andrea Gallina, Senior

Governance Specialist, Governance Global Practice

This session features two projects that show how social accountability can improve health outcomes. The main objective of Reproductive Health Uganda’s (RHU)

project in Uganda was to empower non-state actors to become meaningful and inclusive participants in civic processes concerning pro-poor health. The main objective of the World Bank’s project in Dominican Republic was to engage representatives from many NGOs and civil society, government ministries, the private sector, and international development agencies in an effort to improve transparency and reduce corruption.

YOUTHChair: Luis Benveniste, Education Global Practice, World Bank

Presenters: Donald Mogeni, World Vision & Jaya Burathoki, UNICEF

This session discusses projects that use social accountability interventions to improve education outcomes for children and adolescents. In Malawi, World Vision encouraged the establishment of a stakeholder committee mandated to find long-term solutions to the barriers of improving education outcomes as had been identified by the community. These barriers ranged from teacher absenteeism to child marriage. The Adolescent Development and Participation (ADAP) program by UNICEF in Nepal aims to facilitate effective participation of adolescents in local planning processes that has led to better outcomes in a number of sectors, including in education sector.

EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIESChair: Kristina Svensson, Sr. Mining Specialist, Energy & Extractives Global Practice,

World Bank

Presenters: Saidou Arji & Maryati Abdullah, Publish What you Pay

This session discusses projects that aimed to empower civil society so that they could play an effective role in multi-stakeholder groups established as part of Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). In Niger, Publish What You Pay’s (PWYP) project built capacities of civil society organizations to understand Extractive Industries (EI) industry and to communicate and share knowledge on EITI implementation. PWYP in Indonesia focused on strengthening CSO capacity to understand the EI industry and assisted them in contextualizing EITI for Indonesia through action research.

DIMENSIONS WORKSHOPS

POLITICAL ECONOMY INTERVENTION Facilitator: Aly Lala, Concern Mozambique

Presenter: Gaia Gozzo, Head of Governance, Care International

The effectiveness of social accountability approaches depends on a complex web of incentives, interests, and political and economic power relations. To achieve promised impacts of social accountability approaches we need to understand political and power dynamics (at the local and national level) and navigate complex political, economic and social interests of a multitude of actors. In addition to understanding how politics matter for social accountability, we also need to understand the extent to which social accountability can change political economy dynamics by impacting politics and power relationships.

CONSTRUCTIVE ENGAGEMENTFacilitator: Maria Poli, GPSA

Presenter: Dondon Parafina, Executive Director, ANSA East Asia and Pacific & Dr. Joseph

Chimombo, Director of Basic Education, Malawi

Traditionally, civil society has taken an adversarial stance in demanding accountability from the state, e.g. by exposing government’s maladministration. However, the growing understanding is that a constructive engagement approach which emphasizes the need to engage public officials and civil society in a sustained dialogue and collaborative problem solving can be more impactful in the long term for achieving the goal of greater accountability.

COLLECTIVE ACTION AND COALITION BUILDINGFacilitator: Edith Jibunoh, World Bank

Presenter: Joe Powell, Deputy-Director, Open Government Partnership

Working collectively and through coalitions can prove to be successful for its members than acting individually. Coalitions provide its partner greater legitimacy. Coalitions also allow partners to gain a voice in decision-making process by allowing them to advocate their interest from a stronger vantage point, and extend the reach of their message. By acting collectively,

member organizations can broaden political and social support for their cause and compensate for their lack of political power. Coalitions are also less vulnerable to charges of partisanship or representing special interest, and therefore, may have greater leverage with the government in particular and in the society in general. They also help to neutralize opposition.

CITIZEN TRUSTFacilitator: Izabella Toth, Cordaid

Presenter: Joy Saunders, CEO, Integrity Action

A minimal level of citizen trust is essential for state functioning. Citizens’ trust provides public support for the government to implement public policies. It reduces transaction cost of interaction between state and society. It also helps forge consensus around important reforms, and build the political and public support necessary to support them. Greater citizens’ trust also provides motivation for the citizens to engage with the state. Without citizens’ trust, on the other hand, state policies and initiatives (including social accountability initiatives) are received by citizens with suspicion and may struggle with the problem of legitimacy.

ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMSFacilitator: Renzo Lavin, ACIJ

Presenter: Brendan Halloran, Transparency and Accountability Initiative

Accountability emerges through the operation of accountability systems that bring together a variety of inter-dependent institutions and actors, some with clear accountability mandates and others with ancillary accountability functions. The institutions and actors include parliament, civil society organizations, political parties, media, private sector organizations, courts, local authorities, and informal governance and accountability systems, among others. Social accountability approaches can leverage broad range of external capabilities within the system that may help social accountability initiative to succeed.

During the Forum we will host two workshop sessions during which the Forum attendees split into break out groups. Attendees have the opportunity to engage in the workshop they are most interested in.

POLITICAL ECONOMY INTERVENTION Facilitator: Aly Lala, Concern Mozambique

Presenter: Gaia Gozzo, Head of Governance, Care International

The effectiveness of social accountability approaches depends on a complex web of incentives, interests, and political and economic power relations. To achieve promised impacts of social accountability approaches we need to understand political and power dynamics (at the local and national level) and navigate complex political, economic and social interests of a multitude of actors. In addition to understanding how politics matter for social accountability, we also need to understand the extent to which social accountability can change political economy dynamics by impacting politics and power relationships.

CONSTRUCTIVE ENGAGEMENTFacilitator: Maria Poli, GPSA

Presenter: Dondon Parafina, Executive Director, ANSA East Asia and Pacific & Dr. Joseph

Chimombo, Director of Basic Education, Malawi

Traditionally, civil society has taken an adversarial stance in demanding accountability from the state, e.g. by exposing government’s maladministration. However, the growing understanding is that a constructive engagement approach which emphasizes the need to engage public officials and civil society in a sustained dialogue and collaborative problem solving can be more impactful in the long term for achieving the goal of greater accountability.

COLLECTIVE ACTION AND COALITION BUILDINGFacilitator: Edith Jibunoh, World Bank

Presenter: Joe Powell, Deputy-Director, Open Government Partnership

Working collectively and through coalitions can prove to be successful for its members than acting individually. Coalitions provide its partner greater legitimacy. Coalitions also allow partners to gain a voice in decision-making process by allowing them to advocate their interest from a stronger vantage point, and extend the reach of their message. By acting collectively,

member organizations can broaden political and social support for their cause and compensate for their lack of political power. Coalitions are also less vulnerable to charges of partisanship or representing special interest, and therefore, may have greater leverage with the government in particular and in the society in general. They also help to neutralize opposition.

CITIZEN TRUSTFacilitator: Izabella Toth, Cordaid

Presenter: Joy Saunders, CEO, Integrity Action

A minimal level of citizen trust is essential for state functioning. Citizens’ trust provides public support for the government to implement public policies. It reduces transaction cost of interaction between state and society. It also helps forge consensus around important reforms, and build the political and public support necessary to support them. Greater citizens’ trust also provides motivation for the citizens to engage with the state. Without citizens’ trust, on the other hand, state policies and initiatives (including social accountability initiatives) are received by citizens with suspicion and may struggle with the problem of legitimacy.

ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMSFacilitator: Renzo Lavin, ACIJ

Presenter: Brendan Halloran, Transparency and Accountability Initiative

Accountability emerges through the operation of accountability systems that bring together a variety of inter-dependent institutions and actors, some with clear accountability mandates and others with ancillary accountability functions. The institutions and actors include parliament, civil society organizations, political parties, media, private sector organizations, courts, local authorities, and informal governance and accountability systems, among others. Social accountability approaches can leverage broad range of external capabilities within the system that may help social accountability initiative to succeed.
