| ANSA-Africa is a project of the Economic Governance Programme, IDASA |
|
|
|
The World Bank is providing funding for the establishment of ANSA-Africa in terms of its DGF programme over 3 years.
There are several reasons why the World Bank has a distinct comparative advantage in being associated with this programme. First, the Bank, through its work on governance, social accountability and civil society in WBIEN, AFTS, SDV and PREM is at the forefront of research and application on demand side governance and social accountability methodologies. It is uniquely situated and equipped to encourage and guide the development of a regional Alliance of this type. Second, social accountability is still very much a new area of governance and development. Third, social accountability initiatives can really only be run effectively in a country if the national government provides the "space" for this to be done. The Bank's long-term, and strong, relationships with African governments mean that initiatives backed by the Bank are likely to enjoy government clearance and support.
Other funders need to be brought on board to ensure the longer term sustainability of ANSA-Africa. A number of other donors have also shown considerable interest in social accountability.
