ANSA SAR has provided strategic support through small to medium sized grants to 22 CSOs in South Asia region, for experimenting and scaling up micro-level social accountability initiatives by existing and emerging actors seeking to develop new tools and methods to enhance social accountability practices across a range of thematic focus areas: basic rights and entitlements, participation in local governance, citizens’ monitoring of public procurement and programme execution, and environmental governance –using social accountability as a mechanism to counteract damaging environmental practices.



This pool of 22 grantees and their works offer a unique source of grassroots experience and is the bedrock of both the ANSA network and its knowledge on how social accountability can effectively be used on the ground. The knowledge development effort has been deepened through methodical study to capture the experiential knowledge from the ANSA supported social accountability innovations – to learn from these grassroots interventions and synthesize these learning to extract new knowledge and insights on social accountability in South Asia.
