Welcoming new members
Why is SAcc relevant in your work?
Andrews Seglah, Project Manager, from the Initiative for Food Environment, Health Society
(IFEHS), Nigeria, has just registered to the Knowledge Platform. The IFEHS seeks to enlighten local
communities to address the environmental, agriculture and health challenges that affect them while
promoting social accountability, cooperation, partnership and networking between government, civil
society and the Public for Sustainable Development program. Andrews believes that SAcc is crucial
because it can help shed lights on how recipients are selected in programs implemented by
government agencies, how much money is spent, how the resources are distributed, etc. He hopes
that the KP allow him to learn best practices from others, learn some tools for social accountability
initiatives and also to share with others.
Tell us why and how SAcc is relevant in your work!
