PART III LINE 1 DECISIONS BENEFIT EVERYONE FAIRLY, AND PEOPLE LEAD SECURE LIVES. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A WE DO THIS BY: 1. SHIFTING NORMS AND BEHAVIORS - AROUND ISSUES OF ACCOUNTABILITY TO ENSURE THAT INTEGRITY BECOMES THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR WITHIN SOCIETIES (CAMPAIGNS); 2. EQUIPPING REFORMERS FOR COLLECTIVE ACTION - INSIDE AND OUTSIDE GOVERNMENT - WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS THEY NEED TO PUSH FOR BETTER GOVERNANCE THROUGH TRAINING AND LEARNING (KNOWLEDGE); AND 3. INFLUENCING POLICIES, PROCESSES AND PRACTICES - AROUND CRITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUES, THROUGH GROWING COALITIONS AND ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE (COMMUNITIES). INTEGRITY ICON'S MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA REACH INCREASES ANNUALLY AS CAMPAIGNS GAIN TRACTION IN COUNTRIES AND OUR NETWORK OF PARTNERS EXPANDS. OUR SOCIAL MEDIA REACH EXCEEDED 2 MILLION VIEWS IN 2019 AND MORE THAN 4 MILLION VIEWERS IN 2020. ADDITIONALLY, COVERAGE BY RESPECTED INTERNATIONAL MEDIA OUTLETS INCREASES ANNUALLY ALONG WITH COVERAGE AT NATIONAL LEVELS. EACH YEAR WE RUN THE CAMPAIGN ACROSS 12+ GEOGRAPHIES AND COUNTRIES WITH OVER 15,000 NOMINATIONS AND 60+ WINNING ICONS; RAP2REP/VOICE2REP - OUR MUSIC CAMPAIGNS SEARCH FOR UNDERGROUND AND UNDISCOVERED MUSIC ARTISTS WHO SUPPORT GREATER REPRESENTATION, PARTICIPATION, AND ACCOUNTABILITY. THE GOALS OF OUR MUSIC CAMPAIGNS ARE: - TO FIND WAYS TO ENGAGE YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGH MUSIC AROUND ISSUES OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND INTEGRITY; AND, - TO CHANGE THE APPROACH THAT THE INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE TAKES TO THESE CHALLENGES THROUGH POSITIVE MESSAGING AND ENGAGEMENT. WE LAUNCHED OUR INAUGURAL VOICE2REP CONSCIOUS MUSIC CAMPAIGN IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO IN 2023, CULMINATING IN THE COMPOSITION AND PRODUCTION OF 3 SONGS AND CONCERTS. HOSTED IN NORTH AND SOUTH KIVU PROVINCES, ARTISTS BENEFITED FROM TRAINING PROVIDED BY EXPERIENCED MUSIC INDUSTRY INSTRUCTORS SUCH AS MATRE THOMAS LUSANGO, DIRECTOR OF THE DELIA NDARO CULTURAL CENTER. SOME OF THE SONG THEMES INCLUDED THE NEED FOR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC TRANSPARENCY, CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND ELECTORAL INTEGRITY, PARTICULARLY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RECENT ELECTIONS IN THE DRC. FILM FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOOLS AIM TO DEVELOP A GENERATION OF SOCIALLY-CONSCIOUS FILMMAKERS WHO HAVE THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO TACKLE ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUES THROUGH VISUAL STORYTELLING. THROUGH THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF SHORT FILMS IN LOCAL LANGUAGES, WE ALSO HOPE TO ENGAGE COMMUNITIES IN CONVERSATIONS AND ACTIONS ON INCLUSION AND GOVERNANCE ISSUES. IMPACT THE ACCOUNTABILITY FILM FELLOWSHIP IN ZIMBABWE HAS SPARKED IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE. COUNTRYWIDE SCREENINGS SHOWCASED NINE FILMS UNDER THEMES INCLUDING CORRUPTION, WOMEN'S ISSUES, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND MENTAL HEALTH. THEY RESONATED DEEPLY WITH THE AUDIENCE, PARTICULARLY A FEW MORE DOLLARS BY JABULANI MUDZOVA, LIFE IN REHAB BY RUNGAMAI TAVIRAI, AND BLEEDING HEART BY EASY SIBANDA. THESE FILMS DEPICT THE DAILY STRUGGLES OF CHITUNGWIZA YOUTH, FOSTERING A SENSE OF SHARED EXPERIENCE. ACCOUNTABILITY INCUBATOR - HELPS YOUNG CIVIL SOCIETY CHANGE-MAKERS (OR "ACCOUNTAPRENEURS") TO DEVELOP THE TOOLS, SKILLS, NETWORKS, OUTREACH EFFORTS AND FUNDING STREAMS THEY NEED TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE, EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, INTEGRITY AND OPEN GOVERNANCE. SELECTED ACCOUNTAPRENEURS RECEIVE 12 MONTHS OF HANDS-ON, COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT INCLUDING: TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE-BUILDING, MENTORING, NETWORK BUILDING, MEDIA OUTREACH, AND STORYTELLING SUPPORT. THE GOALS OF THE INCUBATOR ARE THREEFOLD: - TO ALLOW US TO RE-BALANCE ASSISTANCE FOR CIVIL SOCIETY IN THE ACCOUNTABILITY SPACE TOWARDS BOTTOM-UP, LOCALIZED IDEAS FOR CHANGE; - TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS, WHO CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD ACCOUNTABILITY; - TO BUILD "UNLIKELY NETWORKS AND DIVERSE COALITIONS WHO CAN FIND NEW WAYS TO CREATE CHANGE. IMPACT ACCOUNTABILITY LAB LAUNCHED THE ACCOUNTABILITY INCUBATOR A DECADE AGO WITH A VISION TO TRAIN AND SUPPORT YOUNG PEOPLE WITH INNOVATIVE IDEAS AROUND ACCOUNTABILITY, PARTICIPATION, AND OPEN GOVERNMENT TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE, IMPLEMENTABLE TOOLS FOR CHANGE. OVER 300 ACCOUNTAPRENEURS IN 12 COUNTRIES HAVE JOINED US ON THIS JOURNEY WITH A COLLECTIVE VISION OF A WORLD WHERE GOVERNANCE WORKS FOR ALL. - DAMARIS ASWA, FOUNDER OF YOUTH4INTEGRITYBUILDING (YIB), WAS AWARDED THE 2023 SHEIKH TAMIM BIN HAMAD AL THANI INTERNATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION EXCELLENCE AWARD UNDER THE YOUTH CREATIVITY AND ENGAGEMENT CATEGORY. SHE IS ALSO A FOUNDING MEMBER OF DEMOCRACY MOVES, A GLOBAL MOVEMENT FOR DEMOCRACY LED BY YOUNG PEOPLE. SHE HAS DIRECTLY PROVIDED TRAINING ON INTEGRITY ISSUES FOR OVER 100 TEACHERS, 500 INTEGRITY CLUB MEMBERS, AND 1000 STUDENTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS ACROSS KENYA AND HAS DEVELOPED AN INTEGRITY HANDBOOK AND STUDENT GUIDEBOOK. IN 2022, SHE PARTICIPATED IN THE COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS PROGRAM IN THE UNITED STATES, WHERE SHE MET A FELLOW ACCOUNTAPRENEUR FROM ZIMBABWE, DARLINGTON MAFA. SHE HARNESSED THE POWER OF REGIONAL NETWORKS AND WITH SUPPORT FROM ANOTHER ACCOUNTAPRENEUR IN ZIMBABWE, INTEGRITYLINK - TUWAJIBIKE! MOBILE APPLICATION WAS LAUNCHED IN 2023. IT GIVES COMMUNITY MEMBERS A SAFE AND SECURE SPACE TO REPORT CORRUPTION CASES, TRACK THEIR PROGRESS, AND ACCESS CRUCIAL GOVERNMENT BUDGET AND EXPENDITURE INFORMATION. - MEANWHILE IN NEPAL, POOJA BISTA'S WORK AS AN ACCOUNTAPRENEUR FOCUSES SPECIFICALLY ON TABOOS AROUND MENSTRUATION. IN THE WESTERN PART OF NEPAL, CHAUPADI REMAINS A FORM OF MENSTRUAL TABOO. POOJA HAS CREATED A DIGITAL PLATFORM TO SHIFT ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOURS AROUND MENSTRUATION, USING INCLUSIVE STORYTELLING. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A CIVIC ACTION TEAMS (CIVACTS) ARE PIONEERING CITIZEN FEEDBACK, DIALOGUE, AND COMMUNITY VOICE PLATFORM TO ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. CIVACTS COLLECT CRITICAL INFORMATION FROM HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITIES SOLVING DAILY PROBLEMS FOR CITIZENS AND CLOSING THE LOOP ON CHALLENGES RELATED TO EVERYTHING FROM MIGRATION AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING TO NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY ISSUES. THE CIVACTS PROCESS ENSURES THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS HOW AND WHEN DEVELOPMENT WILL TAKE PLACE, BUILDING ACCOUNTABILITY INTO LOCAL DECISION-MAKING IN REAL-TIME, AND CLOSING THE FEEDBACK LOOP BETWEEN CITIZENS, GOVERNMENTS, THE MEDIA, AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR. IMPACT - WE'VE HAD MORE THAN 200,000 COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS THROUGH SURVEYS AND MORE THAN 150 MULTI-STAKEHOLDER TOWN HALL MEETINGS THAT HAVE HELPED CO-CREATE SOLUTIONS FOR HUNDREDS OF PROBLEMS. THROUGH VARIED AND CREATIVE DISSEMINATION METHODS SUCH AS INFOGRAPHICS, COMMUNITY RADIO STATIONS AND MURALS, WE'VE REACHED MILLIONS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON TOPICS RANGING FROM FISCAL TRANSPARENCY TO MIGRATION. - CONCRETE SOLUTIONS WERE FOUND TO OVERCOME A DIVERSITY OF CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED IN VARIOUS LOCAL ENTITIES EASTERN DRC. WE'VE FOUND A GROWING COMMITMENT TO COLLABORATION ON THE PART OF THE AUTHORITIES AND THE COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING THE FORMATION OF SMALL TRADERS' ASSOCIATIONS WHO RAISE AWARENESS AMONG SHOPKEEPERS AND VENDORS ABOUT HOW TO AVOID TAX HARASSMENT, FRAUD AND CORRUPTION. AS A RESULT OF WAS THE RESULT OF CLOSE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE VENDORS OF THE LARGE MARKET AND COMMUNAL AUTHORITIES, ENABLING TRANSPARENT MANAGEMENT OF THE STALLED TAX. THE POPULATION OF THE BAGIRA CENTRAL MARKET HAS ACCESS TO DRINKING WATER. RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS - WE SEE OURSELVES AS A LEARNING ORGANIZATION AND ENGAGE IN DEEPER RESEARCH AND LEARNING - IN CONJUNCTION WITH PARTNERS - IN THE PROCESSES OF SHIFTING NORMS AND BEHAVIOURS. OUR RESEARCH (BE IT EMPIRICAL OR ACTION RESEARCH THROUGH CIVACTS) ALLOWS US TO HAVE A STARTING POINT FOR IDENTIFYING AND DIAGNOSING CHALLENGES IN COMMUNITIES. CIVACTS ALLOWS FOR THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA TO START FROM A CITIZEN-LED PERSPECTIVE (PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS) AND NOT FROM A PRACTITIONER'S SECONDARY PERSPECTIVE. OUR APPROACH IS INFORMED BY CONTEXT AND PEOPLE WHICH WE DECODE INTO ACCOUNTABILITY ACTION POINTS. IT'S A TRANSLATION SERVICE THAT ALLOWS CITIZENS' VOICE TO BE IMBUED WITH THE REQUISITE LANGUAGE THAT POLICYMAKERS UNDERSTAND. MORE BROADLY, THE LAB USES IT'S ENGAGEMENT CAPACITY WITH DUTY BEARERS SUCH AS PARLIAMENT, COMMISSIONS AND OTHER PUBLIC OFFICES TO AMPLIFY GRASSROOTS ISSUES, TO CREATE A CAUSAL LINK BETWEEN THE PROBLEM AND THE ACCOUNTABILITY DIMENSION TO IT, AND TO MONITOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF REFORMS. SOME OF THE KEY THINGS WE HAVE MANAGED TO DO WITH RESEARCH DATA IS: 1. DEEPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF PRESSING ISSUES IN COMMUNITIES. RESEARCH HAS ALLOWED A PROBLEM VERIFICATION PROCESS. 2. ESCALATE COMMUNITY ISSUES INTO POLICY ISSUES THAT KEY STAKEHOLDERS LIKE PARLIAMENT CAN ENGAGE WITH. 3. ESTABLISH OURSELVES AS AUTHORITIES OR AT LEAST CREDIBLE SOURCES OF INFORMATION ON SELECTED TOPICS. 4. USING OUR RESEARCH WE HAVE MANAGED TO INTERPRET WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ORDINARILY TREATED AS SOCIAL ISSUES INTO GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUES EG THE POLICY NOTE ON DRUGS AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. 5. USING OUR POLICY PAPERS WE HAVE IMPROVED DEBATES IN PARLIAMENT ON TOPICAL ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUES EG ON IMPROVED FINANCING FOR STATE-LED INITIATIVES ON DRUGS AND SUB. HACKCORRUPTION HACKCORRUPTION IS AN ACCOUNTABILITY LAB INITIATIVE THAT AIMS TO COMBAT CORRUPTION GLOBALLY BY STIMULATING THE INNOVATIVE USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTABILITY GAPS AND BUILD SYSTEMIC INTEGRITY. WE WORK WITH DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP, TRACK, REFINE AND APPLY NEW AND EXISTING TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS TO SYSTEMIC CHALLENGES OF CORRUPTION. HACKCORRUPTION BRINGS TOGETHER MOTIVATED INDIVIDUALS FROM THE CIVIC TECH, CSO, AND ACTIVIST ARENAS, TO BUILD THESE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO COMBAT CORRUPTION. THE PROGRAM STARTS WITH THE SELECTION AND ORIENTATION OF DIVERSE REGIONAL TEAMS FROM THE TARGETED COUNTRIES. THESE TEAMS THEN DEVELOP EARLY PROTOTYPES OF THEIR SOLUTIONS AND PITCH THEM TO A PANEL OF JUDGES. THE TEAMS WITH SELECTED SOLUTIONS PARTICIPATE IN A BOOTCAMP AND RECEIVE $10,000 TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT AND LAUNCH OF THEIR SOLUTION. THROUGH THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND LAUNCH OF SOLUTIONS, TEAMS ALSO RECEIVE ONGOING SUPPORT AND ARE LINKED WITH A NETWORK OF OTHERS WORKING IN THE SAME SPACE. IMPACT SINCE 2022 WE HAVE CONVENED OVER INNOVATORS ACROSS 19 COUNTRIES (4 REGIONS) TO DEVELOP 23+ INNOVATIVE TOOLS TO COMBAT CORRUPTION. TO DATE, THE TOOLS DEVELOPED THROUGH HACKCORRUPTION INCLUDE: - PROCUREMENT MONITORING SYSTEMS THAT ALLOW CITIZENS TO TRACK GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT AND OTHER CONTRACTING PROCESSES, AND FLAG IRREGULARITIES THAT COULD POINT TO CORRUPTION. - VISUALIZING PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA ABOUT ELECTED OFFICIALS AND COUPLING IT WITH FAMILY TREE AND BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP DATA TO GIVE CITIZENS CLARITY ON THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS' BUSINESS AND FAMILY TIES; - WEB-BASED KNOWLEDGE GRAPHS THAT ILLUSTRATE NATIONAL AND TRANSNATIONAL PROCUREMENT DATA; - PARTICIPATORY TOOLS THAT ALLOW CITIZENS TO REPORT ON HOW INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ARE IMPLEMENTED IN THEIR AREA; AND - A BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP DATABASE SEARCH TOOL THAT ALLOWS CITIZENS, PRIVATE SECTOR AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO VERIFY THE OWNERSHIP OF COMPANIES. COALITION-BUILDING, POLICY CHANGE, AND ADVOCACY WE ACTIVELY WORK TO PARTICIPATE IN AND BUILD RELEVANT COALITIONS AND COMMUNITIES AROUND ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY AND OPEN GOVERNMENT AT THE LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS. WE HAVE EXCELLENT NETWORKS IN COMMUNITIES AND ACCESS TO ROOMS WHERE POLICY DECISIONS ARE MADE, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE USE THESE TOGETHER AND EFFECTIVELY. THE GOAL OF THIS WORK IS TO CHANNEL UPWARDS THE IDEAS WE ARE SURFACING FROM THE BOTTOM-UP TO INFORM AND INFLUENCE POLICIES, PRACTICES, AND PROCEDURES, AND ULTIMATELY SHIFT POWER. IMPACT - WE ARE LEADING OR SUPPORTING COALITIONS - SUCH AS THE OPEN GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIP (OGP IN NIGERIA, LIBERIA, AND PAKISTAN) AND ANTI-CORRUPTION-RELATED GROUPS (LIBERIA); - WE ARE SUPPORTING DONOR COLLABORATIVES OR INITIATIVES - SUCH AS THE LIBERIA ACCOUNTABILITY AND VOICE INITIATIVE (LIBERIA); - THE WORLD BANK'S WORK ON CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT (BOTH FORMALLY THROUGH THE EXPERT ADVISORY COUNCIL) AND INFORMALLY. - WE ARE PART OF THE OGP STEERING COMMITTEE AND HAVE LED THE OGP PROCESS IN A FEW DIFFERENT COUNTRIES IN WHICH WE WORK, LEADING TO KEY COMMITMENTS FROM THE GOVERNMENT INCLUDING THE DEPLOYMENT OF INFORMATION OFFICERS IN COUNTIES AND GREATER TRANSPARENCY AROUND ISSUES OF NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT.
