Using mobile #tech we enable citizens to monitor the delivery of projects local to them – and solve the problems they find. #civictech#feedback#accountability
Kudos to Dessiderius, AKA Chief, a South African citizen monitor working with @Oudtmun to improve community participation and local government responsiveness
@Act4Integrity Dessiderius Claassen from @Oudtmun talking about the challenges & lessons learned from piloting CBM, which included accessing the project site (initial resistance from the site manager) as well as the need for monitors to understand some technical project information #COMPACT2025
We are proud of Danielle, a South African citizen monitor working to improve community engagement and local government responsiveness in her municipality @KougaMuni
@Act4Integrity@Oudtmun Danielle Schaap from @KougaMuni explaining how the CBM approach assisted the municipality with engaging communities around the implementation of a large infrastructure project #COMPACT2025
@Act4Integrity@Oudtmun@KougaMuni Jabu Hlatshwayo (@PARInstitute) provided implementation support on the CBM piloting and highlights the need to build trust between all parties involved and ensure regular feedback loops to communities #COMPACT2025
@Act4Integrity@Oudtmun@KougaMuni@PARInstitute Concelia Choma from @SALGA_Gov focuses her reflections on the critical issue of how to institutionalise and embed the approach in municipalities: "CBM needs to find a home and sit inside municipal structures, the Public Participation Unit (PPU) is a useful place” #COMPACT2025

@JamesCameron: These efforts to limit carbon are exclusively for the public good – there may well be private gain in getting there, but there is unquestionably public good. A hell of a challenge, but its worthwhile because we really are at risk @AKF_Global@Act4Integrity#VCM
Violet Shivutse speaking the importance of trust in VCM. "How are we able to ensure that there is continuous dialogue that builds trust? Dialogue has always helped between communities, companies and farmers" @AKF_Global@Act4Integrity#VCM#Community#trust
Apoorva Oza: The insurance sector needs to be incentivised to be involved in the voluntary carbon markets sector – there is an element of risk which they are wary of, but there is much to be gained from their involvement @AKF_Global@Act4Integrity#VCM#risk#trust
@JesseWorker: These are public goods we are making; they should be in the public domain. Accountability needs information which is relevant and accessible to ensure credibility and trust. @AKF_Global@Act4Integrity#VCM
