WHAT’S HAPPENING
📚 What does inclusive education look like when communities help shape it?
People Promote Center, with support from Accountability Lab Nepal, recently brought together local representatives, students, parents, and community members in Mukhiyapatti Musaharniya Rural Municipality, Dhanusa,... for a town hall on inclusive education.
The discussion focused on everyday issues families are navigating – access to learning, school infrastructure, cleanliness and health, and student enrollment. These gatherings create practical spaces for communities to share their experiences directly with those involved in local decision-making.
The hope behind this work is simple: when communities have room to voice their realities, it becomes easier for parents, teachers, and local leaders to understand what’s needed and consider ways forward together.

Electoral corruption remains a pressing global challenge. Across the world, citizens still see vote buying as a widespread practice, one that undermines trust in democracy and fair elections.
In a recent article, “Balancing Enforcement and Anticorruption Messaging: Lessons from an ...Anti-Vote Buying Project in Moldova,” Corina Rebegea, Non-Resident Fellow at Accountability Lab, and Katie Fox, Eurasia Deputy Regional Director at the National Democratic Institute (NDI), share how NDI and local partners in Moldova took on this issue.
By combining strong law enforcement with anticorruption communication campaigns that inspire agency, dignity, and individual responsibility they helped communities push back against vote buying and strengthen integrity.
Key lessons from their work:
✅ Shift the narrative from “stolen” to ensuring integrity.
✅ Work with trusted local actors to raise awareness and deliver messages that deter corruption.
✅ Craft messages that build citizens’ confidence and emphasize individual responsibility rather than threat or blame them.

🔍 What does it really take for social entrepreneurs in Pakistan to thrive?
At a recent regional session hosted by Catalyst Now Asia & the Pacific, Almas Jamil, Communications Associate at Accountability Lab Pakistan, joined the discussion to share reflections informed by the Lab’s... work with young leaders and community-driven innovators.
The conversation highlighted a familiar mix of energy and obstacles within Pakistan’s social entrepreneurship space – strong ideas and committed changemakers, but an ecosystem that’s still shaped by outdated policies, limited financing, and support that often remains concentrated in major cities.
Key points from the dialogue included:
✅ How social entrepreneurship is unfolding in Pakistan’s context
✅ The barriers that continue to limit scale and sustainability
✅ The importance of supporting changemakers beyond major urban centres
✅ The role of more self-sustaining, revenue-based models in long-term impact
The session wrapped up with a forward-looking question: what would it take to move from recognising social entrepreneurship to institutionalising it, so young innovators can build solutions that last?
