The document outlines an accountability and continuous improvement framework with 5 indicators. It describes processes for clarifying roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, recognizing achievements based on collaborative performance systems, enhancing accountability mechanisms through community review, developing inclusive assessment criteria and tools, and conducting regular participatory performance assessments. For each indicator, it provides examples of evidence required at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, such as terms of reference, meeting minutes, policies, reports, and documentation of reviews. The goal is for schools and communities to work together to clearly define roles, track progress, identify gaps, and refine plans through ongoing assessment and improvement efforts.
