Accountability in Action - Step Three
1. In step three we will look at:

STEP THREE
Building your Accountability Network
2. WHAT IS AN ACCOUNTABILITY NETWORK?
So far you have identified a range of stakeholders and their potential roles in your
accountability ecosystem.
To design your national accountability framework, you will see that there are some
stakeholders that you will work with more closely than others. Together with these
stakeholders, you can form an Accountability Network.

ecosystem
3. WE’LL LEARN HOW TO CREATE AN ACTION PLAN
STRENGTHS = What do you / your team / organisation do really well in your accountability work?
e.g. experienced in working with decision-makers.
WEAKNESSES = Challenges? What needs to be improved?
e.g. limited skills in collecting data
OPPORTUNITIES = What could help you from outside?
e.g. existing relationships.
THREATS = Challenges from outside.
e.g. poor internet connection makes communication difficult.
