Policy Brief: Embedding Social Accountability Standards in MBRSG to Advance Inclusive and Transparent Public Policy Education

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Social accountability (SA) mechanisms driven by citizens and civil society to hold institutions answerable are essential for responsive, inclusive, and transparent governance. Yet, SA remains underdeveloped in higher education curricula across the MENA region, particularly in institutions that shape future policymakers. This policy brief advocates for the integration of structured social accountability standards into the educational framework of the Mohamed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG). The suggested solutions encompass curriculum changes through specific courses and case analyses, organizational methods like utilizing the Institutional Self-Assessment Tool (ISAT), student involvement through civic fellowships and policy discussions, and enhancing faculty capabilities.
