About Accountability Initiative
We are a research group which works on strengthening transparency and accountability in governance. We identify and analyse the reasons that work against efficient public services delivery in India. We provide the evidence to policymakers, development practitioners, academics, the media and the public for positive transformational change in malfunctioning government systems.
Our vision is to enable Responsive Governance. We believe this can be achieved if institutions are designed in a transparent and accountable manner and are responsive to citizen demands, and there is an informed and mobilised citizenry which can draw upon these platforms. Our mission is to increase both through research and dialogue.
We are a part of the Centre for Policy Research, one of India’s leading public policy think tanks. We currently have operations and staff in 5 Indian states.
