The Grounded Accountability Model (GAM) is a participatory research approach designed to empower communities to set a vision for success in peace, security, justice, and other key areas of their lives. It enables communities to co-create indicators with practitioners that reflect their priorities and lived experiences, strengthening accountability to these communities by driving program design and adaptation, monitoring and evaluation, and advocacy.
Flexibility, sensitivity, and adaptability are essential in implementing GAM to ensure that it effectively serves community needs. This document outlines specific commitments essential to the effective application of GAM as a participatory research approach, as well as challenges and limitations for evaluators and researchers to consider as they adapt it to various contexts.
