Accountable Now recently hosted (May 22, 2023) a series of dialogues focused on unlocking the power of dynamic accountability to advance civil society and funder social impact and improve the ways we position ourselves to respond to some of the greatest challenges of our time. Keynote Dynamic Accountability Dialogue focused on Accountability and People Power in Climate Financing. The session was moderated by Mihir R. Bhatt, Executive Director of the All India Disaster Mitigation Institute, who was joined by experts from Transparency International-Kenya, FRIDA | Young Feminist Fund, the Pan American Development Foundation (PADN), and the World Bank’s Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA) team.
