The unprecedented travel bans introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a pertinent phenomenon of interest to scholars across the globe. Quantifying the timing and content of policy changes affecting travel and immigration is key to future research on the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the socioeconomic impacts of these policies. The COVID Border Accountability Project (COBAP) provides a systematized dataset of >1000 policies, reflecting a timeline of new country-level restrictions on movement across international borders during the 2020 year. Using a 20-question survey, trained research assistants (RAs) sourced and documented for each new border policy: start and end dates, whether the closure constitutes a "complete closure" or "partial closure", which exceptions are made, which countries are banned, and which borders are closed, among other variables. In addition, the full text of each policy was included in the database. We maintain and update the data monthly. For public use, we visualize the data in an interactive map tool visualization: covidborderaccountability.org. For ongoing and future pandemic research, the dataset will be useful to policymakers, social and biomedical scientists, and public health experts alike.

Asset contains data from mid-term evaluation of the Strengthening Democratic Governance and Accountability Project (SDGAP). To conduct this evaluation, Democracy International (DI) employed a mixed-methods utilization-focused evaluation approach with elements from the Outcome Mapping evaluation approach. DI’s utilization-focused evaluation approach engaged the primary intended users of the evaluation from the start, thereby increasing the likelihood that evaluation results will be appropriate, validated, and used. SDGAP aims to increase effective and accountable democratic governance, focusing on activities that strengthen core democratic governance, public administration, and legislative functions linked to public accountability systems and policy reform. Through SDGAP, USAID supports key actors within the Sri Lankan public accountability space including the Parliament, government ministries, commissions, and agencies as well as think tanks, research organizations, civil society, and the media.

Results from members of parliament who were beneficiaries of Strengthening Democratic Governance and Accountability Project (SDGAP) training responding to survey on training effectiveness. SDGAP is a three-year governance activity implemented by DAI. The task order is valued at $13.8 million and has a period of performance through September 2019. These survey results are part of an independent mid-term evaluation that Democracy International conducted in late 2018.

INCA project investigates the impact that so-called digital platforms have on European democracies and institutions. Indeed, while promoting economic growth and labour transformations, these platforms pose challenges to policymakers and citizens in relation to people’ participation in decision-making processes, wealth inequalities and erosion of trust into public institutions. In particular, so-called GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft) are becoming more and more infrastructures for opinion-making, labour organization and political debate. Their increasing power in shaping and influencing such issues through lobbying, industrial relations and cultural impact opened up a wide debate on the way to deal with these transformations. While European societies grew up based on liberal democracies and institutions with their capacity to sustain a coordinated market economy, today their role seems to be reduced because of the difficulties to regulate platforms’ corporate power that spread through politics, economy and culture.INCA aims to: define forms to sustain trust in institutions and new models of governance capable to combine the growth of platforms with social inclusion and citizens participation in decision making processes; stimulate alternative business models and industrial relations so to make GAFAM and platforms accountable to social fairness while preserving their innovation; to clarify the way GAFAM influence European citizens opinion conditioning democratic processes. Projekt INCA bada wpływ tak zwanych platform cyfrowych na europejskie demokracje i instytucje. Promując wzrost gospodarczy i transformację rynku pracy, platformy te stanowią wyzwanie dla decydentów i obywateli w odniesieniu do udziału ludzi w procesach decyzyjnych, nierówności majątkowych i erozji zaufania do instytucji publicznych. W szczególności tak zwane GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple i Microsoft) stają się coraz bardziej infrastrukturą dla kształtowania opinii, organizacji pracy i debaty politycznej. Ich rosnąca siła w kształtowaniu i wpływaniu na te kwestie poprzez lobbing, stosunki przemysłowe i wpływ kulturowy otworzyła szeroką debatę na temat sposobu radzenia sobie z tymi przemianami. Podczas gdy społeczeństwa europejskie wyrosły w oparciu o liberalne demokracje i instytucje, które są w stanie utrzymać skoordynowaną gospodarkę rynkową, dziś ich rola wydaje się być ograniczona ze względu na trudności w regulowaniu władzy korporacyjnej platform, która rozprzestrzenia się poprzez politykę, gospodarkę i kulturę. INCA ma na celu: zdefiniowanie form podtrzymywania zaufania do instytucji i nowych modeli zarządzania zdolnych do połączenia wzrostu platform z integracją społeczną i udziałem obywateli w procesach decyzyjnych; stymulowanie alternatywnych modeli biznesowych i stosunków przemysłowych, aby GAFAM i platformy były odpowiedzialne za sprawiedliwość społeczną przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu ich innowacyjności; wyjaśnienie sposobu, w jaki GAFAM wpływają na opinię obywateli europejskich, warunkując procesy demokratyczne

Project SOARS (Student Ownership, Accountability, and Responsibility for School Safety) utilized a mixed-methods study design to develop and test a student-centered and technology-driven school safety framework to address peer victimization, violent behavior, and student reluctance to share critical safety information within high school settings. SOARS was a project of IRIS Media, Inc. and consisted of 4 phases implemented between 2016 and 2020. Activities for each phase were carried out in Oregon and Illinois high schools in order to facilitate inter-site replication of outcomes. Phase 1 was conducted in 2016 and consisted of focus groups and key informant interviews with students, school personnel, and parents to gather perceptions of current school safety practices. Phase 2 was undertaken in 2017 and asked students, school personnel, and parents to assess the acceptability and usability of prototypes of the SOARS framework. The SOARS framework consisted of (a) the Advocatr mobile app, which allowed students to report positive and negative behaviors in their school environment; (b) a 9-week curriculum engaging students with the concepts of student ownership of school safety, advocacy/self-advocacy, physical and emotional safety, and restorative conflict resolution; (c) informational briefs for school personnel and parents about the framework components and their rationale; and (d) guidelines for a student-led school-wide safety campaign. Phase 3 was rolled out in 2018 and 2019 and consisted of feasibility testing conducted with a small subset of teachers and students in those teachers' classrooms. Participants were surveyed before and after implementation of the SOARS framework. The focus of the feasibility test was on student access and use of the Advocatr app and the accompanying curriculum. During Phase 4 implementation in 2019 and 2020, researchers conducted a pilot test with students, school personnel, and parents from 4 high schools, 2 assigned to the intervention and 2 to the control condition. The focus of the pilot was to test the effectiveness of the SOARS framework. Demographic information was collected from all informants and includes gender (sex male or female; transgender identification), ethnicity, and race. Additional demographic information about students includes sexual orientation, approximate age (over/under 18 years), primary language, GPA, and grade. Parent demographics also include education level and student's grade, while school personnel (teachers and staff) also provided information regarding education level, school role, job title, years in current position, grades taught, and subjects taught. Users should note that qualitative data collected during phase 1 focus groups and phase 2 user acceptance tests are not included in version 1 of the ICPSR release. Additionally, in the quantitative datasets, character variables featuring open-ended string responses have been masked by ICPSR. This study will be updated at a later date to include qualitative data files and character variables in the quantitative datasets.

If development projects are to be effective, a minimum requirement is that the funding reaches its intended destination. Yet the history of international development is replete with examples of this not happening. I argue that there will be fewer problems with corruption or other diversions of funding—which I jointly label capture—in more precisely targeted projects. More well-defined targeting results in superior accountability relationships because there is greater clarity of responsibility, clearer information about outcomes, and improved identifiability of stakeholders. I use an original cross-country, cross-project data set on the incidence of capture in World Bank-funded investment projects to test the theory. The data show a negative relationship between targeting and capture, and I demonstrate that this relationship is robust to a variety of specifications. In addition, I find that there is a higher baseline likelihood of project capture in countries perceived as more corrupt according to commonly used survey-based measures from Transparency International and the Worldwide Governance Indicators, cross-validating those measures and my own.
