Update #4 · Latest ·

ACES provides an "accountability systems" approach, moving beyond a narrow focus on supply-side versus demand-side accountability support or a focus only on formal institutions. Instead, this approach seeks to understand how citizens interact in systems and processes of accountability and strengthen linkages among formal and informal actors on specific issues. ACES also supports the integration of good governance into programs across USAID's development portfolio, such as health, education and economic growth. This means applying Democracy, Rights and Governance (DRG) principles and practices to address political-economic obstacles in other sectors thereby improving overall development outcomes.
