Project profile
Implementation of Social Accountability Framework – ISAF
The social accountability framework aims to reduce poverty through democratic, inclusive and equitable local governance and more accessible and equitable public service delivery. CARE works with local Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) to improve their ability to use this framework to improve local governance in the areas in which they work.
In Cambodia, CARE has been working on governance and social accountability in poor and marginalised communities for over 10 years, including implementing CARE’s signature community scorecard to improve people’s ability to provide feedback on their local health services. The ISAF project represents an expansion of this expertise to encompass additional services with a wider geographical reach. It aims to enhance the performance, responsiveness and accountability of local government and service providers (specifically communes, health centres and primary schools) in selected districts through improved access to local information, open budgets and citizen-led monitoring, with a specific focus on the engagement and impacts for women, youth, and ethnic minorities.
This work contributes to the EU’s agreement with the Sub-National Democratic Development (SNDD) reform body by enhancing demand side social accountability and supporting civil society to promote citizen-led monitoring of government performance at the sub-national level.
