World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, World Bank Managing Director Caroline Anstey and members of the newly selected Steering Committee of the Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA), discussed key issues and opportunities for engagement around social accountability and the science of delivery in a special roundtable discussion on Dec. 17.

The global panel explored how and to what extent social accountability, including citizen feedback mechanisms, can make development interventions more effective and improve service delivery.

In April 2012, the World Bank announced the establishment of the GPSA, a new facility aimed at scaling up support for social accountability by citizen groups and civil society organizations (CSOs) in developing countries. The Steering Committee consists of representatives from CSOs, donors and governments.

The discussion was opportunity to generate and gather valuable insights to shape the work of the GPSA.

Private sector provides 50% of health services in Africa. Yet the social accountability discussion at the WBG seems to center around services delivered by the public sector only. How can the GPSA extend social accountability to social services delivered by the private sector? Any role for IFC?

How about we let society be a mechanism of accountability by making them responsible for monitoring government goals? Instead of having sessions where officials present out of context numbers, some social groups ask the questions, like in an auditory plan.

I think citizens can be trained and rewarded to use the Internet, social media, crowd-sourcing tools, maps to voice what is happening in their communities to authorities in Governments and the World for positive action, accountability, e.t.c
