Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

From 12 to 15 May, Victoria Vlad, an economist at Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” and coordinator of the project “Social Accountability for Education Reform in the Republic of Moldova”, represented the organisation at two events of the Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA) held in Washington DC, United States.

The two events were a workshop for organisations implementing GPSA projects and the GPSA Global Partners Forum. The workshop offered a chance to learn and share experience, with discussions and knowledge exchange aimed at advancing social accountability. The forum featured a presentation by World Bank Group President Dr Jim Yong Kim and brought together more than 160 global partners, including development agencies, international and local civil society organisations and private sector groups.

GPSA supports civil society and governments in tackling critical governance problems in developing countries. Expert-Grup was a finalist in the first round of GPSA project ideas and has been a GPSA partner organisation since June 2013. Since 9 June 2014, an online forum on managing Knowledge & Learning plans for a functional social accountability strategy has been running on the GPSA K&L platform, and Expert-Grup invites interested organisations to take part.
