To increase accountability it is necessary to strengthen the capacity of civil society to understand, monitor and improve budget processes and outcomes in developing countries. An excellent example of social accountability is given in the following video published by the International Budget Partnership: In Kenya, members of parliament receive approximately one million dollars per year to spend on development projects in their constituencies through a scheme called the Constituency Development Fund. The MPs are able to spend this money with no meaningful Independent oversight. Citizen oversight was one the mechanism employed by Kenyan NGO Muslims for Human Rights (MUHURI)to track and monitor the reality and quality of CDF community projects.

Public Online Monitoring is an approach to allow local project beneficiaries to interact with other project stakeholders using the Internet. It is conceived as an online platform where project management and donors can publish project information. At the same time local stakeholders will be able to provide feedback, voice concern about project implementation and possible misuse of funds, ask question and engage in discussion.
