Abstract
Social accountability has been increasingly recognized as a key element to improve the quality of health services. Guerzovich and Poli define social accountability as: A number of reviews have highlighted social accountability and its contributions toward improvement of service delivery, utilization, and health outcomes. In addition to health-related outcomes, governance outcomes, including participation, citizen empowerment, and health system responsiveness, have been associated with social accountability in some countries and contexts. Social accountability is considered a High Impact Practice for improving the delivery and utilization of family planning, a promising practice to improve respectful care, and a powerful platform for youth to hold health systems accountable.
