Description
The focus of the roundtable session was on how citizen involvement in cash transfer programme governance and accountability can help support broader state-citizen relations. Three sub-themes were discussed:
- Grievance channels - what works? What doesn't?
- Feedback loops - beyond grievances - and including information/public relations about the programme, what works? What doesn't?
- Participatory monitoring and evaluation - what would the key ingredients be?
