Forum Agenda
Featuring thought-provoking plenary sessions and thematic sessions with more than 200 experts from around the world, the Forum will focus on the shifting paradigm in social accountability towards a citizen-centric governance approach. Forum participants will explore strategic social accountability practice and learning in key sectors such as health, education, municipal services, extractives and others. Topical issues for strategic social accountability practice such as political economy interventions, constructive engagement, coalition building, citizen trust, and others, will be deliberated.
