COPASAH is a community of accountability practitioners who share an interest for the field of community monitoring for accountability in health. The focus of COPASAH is to enable, support and enhance the capacities of accountability practitioners through mutual learning and exchange, capacity building, sharing of health rights accountability practices and lessons, through knowledge-generation and dissemination at the grass roots. The accountability practitioners use the grassroots knowledge using a bottom-up approach, working upwards to empowering communities towards health rights.
Community engagement of field-based practices helps generate a platform for practitioners to share and exchange their experiences. The resultant is that COPASAH has fostered capacity building of grass-roots practitioners’ by developing and implementing different practitioner and peer led learning strategies in the South Asia region. The learning strategies include training workshops hands-on - experiential learning, opportunities to practitioners such as facilitated exposure visits, learning exchange visits, technical assistance to member organisations in social accountability practices. |
