Social protection schemes are often implemented in contexts characterized by weak accountability of government officials to citizens. Strengthening accountability is important to ensure the quality delivery of social protection and to build better relations between citizens and the state. One way of doing so is through increased involvement of citizens in various stages of social protection programming.
However, despite increasing attention to the value of both social accountability and social protection in low- and middle-income countries, evidence on how social accountability initiatives are being implemented in the social protection sector remains limited.
A comprehensive literature review and four case studies by Development Pathways, with support from DfID, provides new evidence on when and how social accountability initiatives can contribute to better service delivery in social protection programmes and to strengthening state-society relations.
Join us for a discussion of the implications of this research for development programming in social protection sector.
The research was conducted by Tamsin Ayliffe, Ghazia Aslam and Rasmus Schjoedt.
