Collaborating for Change

When civil society organizations (CSOs) and legislative audit offices work together, they can better hold governments accountable for meeting their commitments to achieve the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This series, produced in collaboration with Women Deliver, provides CSOs with information, strategies and tools to effectively engage with audit offices and oversight bodies. It can also be helpful for audit offices that are looking to collaborate with CSOs and other stakeholders. For general information about the series, click here.
