Blair Glencorse and his team at the AccountabilityLab are working to flip the narrative on government accountability. Rather than calling out the perpetrators, their programs aim to shine the spotlight on those who have exemplified integrity in communities across Western Africa and South Asia.

The nonprofit organization works to develop tools and incubate grassroots ideas for sustainable social change.

“We work with young people to find creative ways to make governments more accountable and transparent,” founder and executive director Glencorse said. “Our approach is very positive, very solutions-oriented.”
