Governance and Accountability

Events

CommGAP organizes knowledge-sharing events with leading experts from around the world to share research, experience, and insights on using communication to improve governance and accountability in developing countries. The workshops are attended by representatives from governments, the media, civil society, academia, the private sector, and development agencies.
