This series of research papers was published by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) and Helvetas recently. They are part of a research project on accountability carried out in three countries. The research project aimed at identifying practices and factors contributing to the success of accountability initiatives in fragile contexts. In the case of Nepal, the research focused on the relationship between the state and its citizens and on the accountability mechanisms operating on the supply side and demand side of that relationship. In the case of Bangladesh, the accountability practices studied are local networks formed and supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) local governance programme Sharique. The case study of Mozambique explores the possible factors that enable or hinder accountability initiatives in the country, focusing on the Governance, Water and Sanitation Programme (PROGOAS) implemented by Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation (HELVETAS) and co-financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
