• Addressing critical governance and development challenges through social accountability processes that involve citizen feedback and participatory methodologies geared to helping governments and public-sector institutions address these challenges in the health services strengthening or climate action sectors. Special emphasis is on problems that affect extreme poor and marginalized populations.


• Strengthening civil society's capacities for social accountability by investing in CSOs' institutional strengthening and through mentoring of small, nascent CSOs by well-established, larger CSOs with a track record on social accountability in the health services strengthening or climate action sectors. The GPSA will prioritize proposals that a) are implemented by CSOs' alliances or partnerships, b) include on-granting from lead implementing CSO and CSO partners.
