Promoting local governance and accountability involves building and transforming institutions to allow people to exercise voice to authorities, and to allow those authorities to respond effectively
This bottom-up approach to governance can take place in local space (e.g. through municipal governments and local participation) as well as at the national level. It can involve:
Participatory planning and budgeting
Public expenditure tracking
Monitoring and evaluation of service delivery (score cards)
