About this Event
For ten years, the Accountability Research Center has been co-creating action research on many aspects of accountability and participation with partners in countries including Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, India, and the Philippines.
At this event we will hear members of the ARC team on what it takes to do this kind of partnership-based action research for social change, and from colleagues from other organizations on ARC's influence in the accountability community of practice.
