Pro-Poor Integrity! (PPI) combines participatory civil society monitoring with an integrated approach to governance at the local level, strengthening state-society relations and working with the executive, the judiciary, and the legislative branches to understand the needs and wants of the local communities and how to improve integrity in service delivery.

PPI seeks to improve performance of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at the local level. This will be done by focusing on 4 sectors: water and sanitation, education, health and social protection. Data from the case studies will be used to empirically test the impact of improved governance on MDG attainment.

PPI works with judicial and public administration training partners, and civil society organisations to build the capabilities, responsiveness and accountability of state actors at the local level through training, standard setting, monitoring and joint working groups to help achieve development goals.
