There have been different sets of Social Accountability strategies and tools being implemented in recent years such as the right to information acts, citizen report cards, citizen monitoring, social audit, participatory budgeting (Agarwal, Heltberg, and Diachok 2009; Gaventa and McGee 2013). Several rigorous impact evaluations have been carried out to approximate impacts of social accountability tools on increasing accountability of state actors, however, evidence to support such impacts has been mixed (Fox 2015). In his meta-analysis of Social Accountability impact evaluation studies, Fox found that information alone is not enough; information needs to be used to empower citizens. Information could turn into \u2018voice\u2019 only when the \u2018fear factor\u2019 is addressed either by anonymity or collective action. Social Accountability intervention needs \u2018teeth\u2019 \u2013 the ability of the supply side to respond to citizens by both proactive reforms or negative sanctions (2015).\n\nThe Implementation of SAF combines both the traditional tools of Social Accountabilities, such as Information Literacy, Citizen Empowerment and Community-Based Monitoring and the involvement of the supply side in responding to non-state actors\u2019 demand. The Impact Evaluation of the I-SAF seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of these new intervention modalities on good governance and social accountability. The intervention duration is three years with the baseline survey administered in March 2017 and the endline survey expected to be implemented at the beginning of 2019."},"method":{"data_collection":{"coll_mode":"Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]","research_instrument":"Five questionnaires were used:\n- Individual Local Leader Questionnaire \u2013 Commune Council\n- Individual Local Leader Questionnaire \u2013 Health Center Director\n- Individual Local Leader Questionnaire \u2013 Primary School\n- Individual Local Leader Questionnaire \u2013 Village chief\n- Household Questionnaire"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"","required":"yes","form_no":"","uri":""}],"cit_req":"Use of the dataset must be acknowledged using a citation which would include:\n- the Identification of the Primary Investigator\n- the title of the survey (including country, acronym and year of implementation)\n- the survey reference number\n- the source and date of download.\n\nExample:\n\nPham, Trang and Yen, Wei-Ting.
