Manila
Philippines

ADB, in collaboration with the Partnership for Transparency Fund, organized this National Workshop on Social Accountability at the Local Level: Citizens Engaging with Local Government under the Regional Technical Assistance (RETA) on Support for Implementation of the Second Governance and Anticorruption Action Plan (RETA 6445): Strengthening Citizens Involvement in Mitigating Governance Risks in Local Government Units in the Philippines.

This event served as a learning and sharing platform among representatives of invited civil society organizations (CSOs), local government unit (LGU) implementing partners, concerned national government agencies, ADB, and other funding institutions. It was also a venue to launch an ADB initiative supporting CSOs' constructive engagement and social accountability initiatives with LGUs.
