Project summary
Effective states require an engaged society ready to participate in public decision making, contribute to the provision of public goods and services, and hold authorities accountable for the means and results of public action. ANSA has been created in response to this demand.
ANSA-Africa is a new network, jointly created by the World Bank and the HSRC, to become the leading African advocate of citizen involvement in demand-side governance initiatives. By building on existing African expertise, ANSA-Africa supports the engagement of citizens and civil society in building more effective states through social accountability approaches.
