Imagine this: a world where citizens help to decide what their governments do to combat poverty. Where citizens keep an active eye on governments’ progress and check whether policies are making a difference. Where people regularly give feedback to their governments on the services they are providing – and the feedback is taken seriously. Where, if a policy isn’t working as it should, it is scrapped and replaced with something better. Imagine this: a world where informed dialogue between governments and citizens leads to more effective, fair and inclusive policies from which everyone benefits. This toolkit is inspired by the vision above. It explores ways of working for change by monitoring government policies. It aims to help foster a conversation in society on the policies we choose and how well they work.
