Hi all, FYI two new GPSA dissemination notes are out.

Supporting Politically Smart Social Accountability

The Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA) proposes a new form of funding civil society groups working to solve difficult governance and development problems. It fills a gap in the funding landscape as it targets long-term constructive engagement between state and civil society organizations (CSOs). The innovations to date include setting up a distinct grant-making component and some initial institutional incentives so that grantees are rewarded for acting in a politically savvy way. Though it is a novel approach, there are many challenges for the GPSA to deliver on its promise.

How Are GPSA’s Partners Thinking about Scale and Trying to Achieve it?

This note captures a recent conversation about scale in social accountability with more than 165 of the GPSA’s Global Partners. We discovered a range of on-the ground meanings for scale. We also uncovered that there may be some common challenges and similar pathways that show promise. A big ‘Aha!’ moment: in practice, our colleagues’ experience with scale is rarely directly associated with replication.

Enjoy and keep the conversation going!
