KNOWLEDGE

The Accountability Incubator is a year-long training and support program for young people with great ideas for accountability. It provides accountapreneurs with training organized as online modules, hands-on mentorship, communications support, network building through Friendraisers, and access to a micro innovation fund. This year we recruited accountability entrepreneurs with the best ideas under the theme of “Global Challenges, Local Solutions”. Projects we are working on include building participation, inclusion, digital governance and
environmental accountability.

AL Pakistan also runs an Integrity Innovation Lab and has worked deeply in Balochistan to strengthen its public sector financial management accountability framework. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is a vital part of Parliament’s accountability mechanisms to safeguard public funds. As part of our training efforts under the Integrity Innovation Lab, we strengthened the capacity of Balochistan’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to ensure greater efficiency and transparency as well as build public awareness on government-led processes to drive
citizen-led accountability.
