| Summary: | Research on citizens as drivers of
change and recent reports from the World Bank can inform its
citizen engagement mandate. This governance note seeks to
contribute to improving the World Bank's entry points
for citizen engagement by operationalizing findings on
social organizations from the World Development Report 2017:
Governance and the Law (WDR 2017) and Citizens as Drivers of
Change: How Citizens Use Human Rights to Mobilize,
Effectively Engage with the State and Promote Transparency
and Accountability. To accomplish this, taken from the
second report are three real-world examples of
citizens' initiatives to increase transparency and
accountability in public service delivery. The note also
consists of a brief outline of what the Bank is doing to
promote citizen engagement, a summary of key lessons on what
makes external support from international actors effective,
and suggestions for next steps the Bank can take to best
support citizen engagement in its operations. |
