Social Accountability Tools

Social accountability tools are methods used by citizens, organizations, and communities to monitor and influence government actions and public services. They include surveys, public meetings, complaint mechanisms, and participatory budgeting, enabling people to provide feedback, raise concerns, and demand transparency. These tools help ensure that governments and service providers are responsible, responsive, and deliver quality services. By actively engaging citizens, social accountability fosters greater transparency, reduces corruption, and improves decision-making, ultimately strengthening democratic processes and ensuring that public resources serve the community’s needs effectively.
