Governance Africa Learning Event (GALE)

CARE’s Governance Africa Learning Event was held in Nairobi between the 28th April and the 1st May 2015 for our governance practitioners in Africa. This was a crucial juncture at which country offices were able to engage with CARE International’s (CI’s) 2020 Programme Strategy, understand inclusive governance as a non-negotiable core approach and exchange learning to improve country office programming, particularly capitalizing on recent multi-country research on the use of community scorecards in different contexts.

The learning event had 36 participants from 15 country offices across the continent (Ghana, Zambia, Somalia, DR Congo, Togo/Benin, Malawi, Cote d’Ivoire, Madagascar, Uganda, Egypt, Burundi, Tanzania, Morocco, Kenya, and Rwanda). Participants shared learning on inclusive governance, social accountability and organisational accountability. The event also included external participants from TWAWEZA, Keystone Accountability, Ushahidi, Article 19, Viwango, FIDA Kenya, and SEND Ghana. The external stakeholders presented on inclusive governance programming in different contexts of Africa, the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in social accountability, current trends on development agencies accountability to their constituencies and developing a framework for implementing and measuring organisational accountability.
