About Us
The People’s Action for Accountability and Good Governance in Zambia (PAAGZ) is an independent and not-for-profit organisation working on governance and accountability processes. The organisation was founded on the belief that public sector performance is particularly important to the country’s poorest people, who rely disproportionately on government services, and improved service delivery in addressing high poverty and inequality levels. PAAGZ is coordinated by a passionate, multi-skilled and accomplished board members and foot soldiers.
PAAGZ seeks to pursue a more innovative citizen-based advocacy and influencing approach to demand for responsible and accountable leadership in the management of public resources at both local and national levels. This is achieved through creation of user-friendly tools and interactive platforms that citizens can use to engage and demand for services and accountability as well as engage and co-create with duty bearers on a variety of issues.
