The paper outlines CARE's experience with two specific forms of participatory monitoring: Commmunity Score Cards and social monitoring. It summarises the positive outcomes of participatory monitoring in relation to improvements in service delivery and broader governance outcomes. Drawing on these lessons, CARE proposes a six-step model for participatory monitoring of the SDGs that will ensure that people living in developing countries can play a significant role in determining the success or failure of the new Sustainable Development Goals.
