The Community-Led Accountability Working Group

is a global consortium supporting the establishment and implementation of community-led monitoring programs.

Communities demand accessible, quality health care services. We use community-led monitoring as a tool to achieve that goal. We work alongside communities, using systematic community-led data collection and evidence-based advocacy to improve health equity and the accountability of our health systems to the communities who use them.

CLAW’s APPROACH

Continuous and long-term

we work with communities throughout the CLM cycle, drawing from our experience , collaborating successfully with communities from around the world with an emphasis on South-South, peer-led strategies.

Designed for impact

CLM programs use community data to secure measurable health systems improvements, and increase the power of communities to demand accountability.

Knowledge-generating

CLM is a cutting-edge social accountability tool. We practice real-time learning, research, and evaluation to constantly improve our strategies.

Committed to advocacy

holding duty bearers to account for problems faced by communities is at the heart of effective CLM. We need CLM, at scale, to expose and resolve weaknesses that undermine our pursuit of health justice.
