Our Work

The activity seeks to address the following questions through a review of global experience and case studies in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Guinea:

• To what extent do social accountability approaches explicitly pull in behavior change strategies, and what are the dynamics and nuances surrounding the ways these two prominent areas tend to operate in isolation of each other?
• What might be gained through more targeted efforts to include behavior change strategies within social accountability approaches? What would this look like, particularly in relation to social accountability in support of UHC?
• What social accountability approaches have been implemented recently, and by whom? What factors have influenced successes and challenges with these approaches, and to what extent did behavior change (or lack of behavior change) play a role?
• To mobilize considerable and diverse voices to engage in social accountability approaches in support of UHC, what individual level and institutional level behaviors need to change and in what ways?
• What lessons have been learned around how to foster productive alliances and common goals between citizens and government, including behavior change related lessons?
