CSAT - Centre for Social Accountability & Transparency

We are a non-profit evidence based accountability organization registered in Malawi under the companies Act (Cap 46:03) of the Laws of Malawi, a member of Council for Non-Governmental of Malawi (CONGOMA), and licensed by NGO Board of Malawi to operate as a Non-Governmental Organization under the NGO Act (Cap 5:05) 2018 of the Laws of Malawi.  We are born as a developmental organization that promotes healthy interaction and collaborative engagement between citizens, service providers and policy makers to enhance mutual accountability and transparency in the use of public resources. We focus on issues that worry and concern citizen lives through consultations with various stakeholders, capacity building of communities to hold government accountable, monitor policy priorities and implementation of budgetary processes. We aim to undertake, together with citizens accountability advocate and social audit in local development programs in sectors such economic, social, health, agriculture, infrastructure development, education and mining. We therefore seek to harness information, and citizen participation to strengthen accountability from public officials. We implement creative and evidence based projects that promote citizen voices to reclaim their rights, and hold pubic officers accountable for improved service delivery, greater budget transparency, open contracting and regulation.
