    Rethinking social accountability in Africa: lessons from the Mwananchi Programme

    Event - Public event - 12 September 2013 11:30 - 14:30 (GMT-05)

The Mwananchi Programme spent five years implementing ‘social accountability’ projects in six African countries to enable ordinary citizens to hold their governments to account. This event will discuss the lessons learned and what they mean for designing and carrying out projects which change the rules of the game in favour of poor people.

    Ethiopia has invested extensively in rainwater management interventions, in particular soil and water conservation and afforestation, over the last 40 years, but often with disappointing impact.
