The ‘Community of Practice on Social Accountability (CoPSA)’, popularly known as ‘Accountability Solutions’ in the South Asia Region, is a strategic endeavour to establish a ‘Community of Practice’ based on the tools of Social Accountability (SAc). This Community aims not only to create linkages between different level of actors and practitioners of SAc tools for knowledge exchange but also to mobilise and support new ideas and innovations of using the existing knowledge and creating new as well as advancing the practices and action on the ground. This initiative also aims to strengthen and deepen the synergy between different actors and institutions that are defining and redefining the theories and concepts of social accountability at the grassroots in the region.

 

To sensitise donor and government agencies on social accountability approaches, a sensitisation workshop, ‘Social Accountability in South Asia: Improving Development Outcomes’, was organised under CoPSA on Dec. 18, 2012 at Deputy Chairman Hall, Constitution Club of India, New Delhi, organised by CUTS International in collaboration with the Affiliated Network on Social Accountability South Asia Region (ANSA SAR).
