On April 9, WBI and SDV co-sponsored this brown-bag lunch.  South Asia has been home to many social accountability initiatives, and the evidence demonstrating social accountability's effectiveness in the region is growing and being consolidated.  The Affiliated Network for Social Accountability - South Asia (ANSA-SAR) has played a key role in convening relevant stakeholders and sharing knowledge on social accountability practices at the regional level, such as through the Community of Practice on Social Accountability in the South Asia Region (CoPSA), which is a partnership between ANSA-SAR and CUTS International.  The presenter (George Cheriyan) focused on the work ANSA SAR has done on social accountability through CoPSA.  If you were unable to attend the event in person or online, you can still watch the online recording.  To do so, please click here.
