September 21-25, 2013The Community of Practitioners on Accountability and Social Action in Health (COPASAH) is a network of practitioners from all around the world with a common interest in community monitoring for accountability in health. Over the next one year COPASAH seeks to undertake the following key activities, through its network: a) capacity building; b) technical assistance; c) facilitated learning exposure visits; d) documentation and audio-visual support. COPASAH will be offering 3 regional training programmes in Asia, Latin America and east and southern Africa.Keeping the above in view, COPASAH organised a five days training workshop, from 21st – 25th September 2013, in Delhi. The workshop was being organised for capacity building of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) on accountability and transparency with a view to strengthening the field of community monitoring for accountability in health in South Asia. Further, we aim to provide small grants to selected organisations to support the incorporation of the newly acquired skills.
