The Accountability Initiative (AI) at the Centre for Policy Research works to enable Responsive Governance, or a public system accountable to citizens in spirit and practice. AI conducts research on state capabilities and factors affecting efficient public services delivery in India. This evidence is provided to policymakers, development practitioners, academics, the media, and the public to spark dialogues on policy making and implementation to strengthen transparency and accountability in governance at the last mile in the public system. In addition, AI seeks to deepen public debate through capacity building programs for citizen led accountability, training a new generation of public finance experts, and promoting administrative reforms at the front lines of service delivery.
