Welcome!
Citizens around the world are discovering the power of social accountability to influence governance - and, consequently, shape the life of their communities.
In the East Asia-Pacific region, many countries already have used and benefited from social accountability through actions like budget monitoring, tracking of government expenditures, and preparing citizen report cards on the quality of public service delivery.
It's time for us, the people of East Asia-Pacific, to consolidate these efforts, bring about sharing and exchange among countries, and realize the greater power of regional cooperation.
