During the last nine years, the Citizenship DRC has collected more than 150 case studies that examine how citizen action shapes states and societies. To share some of these persuasive stories, the Citizenship DRC has created a series of two-page summaries entitled Citizens in Action. The first five focus on citizen participation in health policy, and the second on citizen action and accountability. More will follow. The series provides a clear and concise exposition of the diverse ways that citizens claim their rights – everything from everyday acts to global activism. You may also contact us if you wish to receive printed copies.
