[ap-intact] COMMENTARY: An antidote for corruption

“Social accountability has great potential to participate in poverty reduction through more-pro-poor policy design, improved service delivery, and empowerment.

The responsibility of government representatives to be answerable to citizens derives from views of citizens and wider set of human rights.”
