Programs by Focus Area: Good Governance and Accountability
In partnership with local organizations and governments, ICNL promotes an enabling environment that provides for public participation and social accountability. Through a variety of mechanisms, we help key stakeholders share their knowledge and perspectives. We also encourage good CSO governance, as well as accountability on the part of CSOs and governments alike.
ICNL focuses many of its capabilities on legal issues affecting:
- Public hearings
- Access to information
- Participatory budgeting
- Monitoring of public service delivery
- Citizen advisory boards
By developing and supporting initiatives in these areas, ICNL strives to build greater confidence and trust in both governments and civil society. This goal is reflected throughout our good governance and accountability activities including:
- Provision of draft commentaries on the impact of CSO legislation in Kosovo.
- Advising Iraq authorities and CSOs on CSO accountability in conflict and post conflict environment.
- Leading South Pacific workshops on CSO accountability in the context of “traditional law.”
