Journal of International AIDS Society (JIAS) Paper: Power, data and social accountability – defining a community-led monitoring model for strengthened health service delivery (November 2024)

November 1, 2024

Born out of models of political accountability and historical healthcare advocacy led by people living with HIV, community-led monitoring (CLM) of health service delivery holds potential as a social accountability model to increase the accessibility and quality of health systems. However, the effectiveness of the CLM model in strengthening accountability and improving service delivery relies on its alignment with evidence-based principles for social accountability mechanisms. We propose a set of unifying principles for CLM to support the impact on the quality and availability of health services.
