The objectives of the meeting were to build connections and draw inspiration from a wide range of individuals and organisations involved in community mobilisation and social accountability strategies. We aimed to deepen our understanding and question our assumptions about how community mobilisation contributes to social change by sharing experiences from a range of health and human rights organisations involved in community mobilisation and social accountability.
