Abstract

Community matters – community responds. Yet many health planners still consider people as passive recipients of programs. Social audits respond to the voice of different stakeholders, including intended beneficiaries, in order to improve health planning and service delivery. The introductory and concluding papers of a special supplement to BioMed Central, discusses the evolution of Centro de Investigación de Enfermedades Tropicales (CIET)’s social audit methods, the lessons learned, and the way forward to the next generation of social audits.
