We Have a New Strategy; Here’s Where We Fell Short on the Last One

You may have read the first in our three-part series of strategy blogs yesterday in which we highlighted the key areas of our new 2020-2023 strategy, including the focus on growing our campaigns, building knowledge and bringing together communities. We explained that these three elements of our work - as outlined in our Theory of Action - now provide what we feel is a mutually reinforcing approach to supporting active citizens, responsible leaders and accountable institutions.

Ignore Feedback Loops at Your Peril Evidence from Nepal

By: Narayan Adhikari, who runs the Accountability Lab in Nepal, and Pranav Budhathoki, Executive Director of Local Interventions Group. This blog post was originally published by Feedback Labs. In February 2016, almost a year after Nepal’s first devastating earthquake, government officials and 344 earthquake-affected Nepalis squatted on the grounds of a public school in the epicenter district of Gorkha. This was a community meeting organized by Accountability Lab and Local Interventions Group. The group collectively set out to solve a serious problem– there was not enough assistance to survive. The government showed no sense of urgency to speed up aid delivery. Citizens demanded [...]
