Twenty Years of
Promoting Governance Accountability
Wada Na Todo Abhiyan (WNTA) is a national campaign committed to promoting governance accountability to end poverty, social exclusion, and discrimination. We track government promises and commitments at national and international levels to ensure they translate into real results for marginalised communities.
​
OUR STORY
​​​
WNTA emerged from the World Social Forum 2004 in Mumbai, where human rights activists and social action groups came together in consensus on the need for a focused, action-oriented platform. The idea was to create a collective force capable of making a difference in a country where one-fourth of the world’s poor live, facing deep and persistent deprivation in their right to learn, live, and work with dignity.
​
WHAT WE TRACK
​​
A key part of WNTA’s work is the collaborative annual report, Promises & Reality, which reviews the Union Government’s performance across sectors, issues, and communities. This independent citizens’ review assesses progress against electoral promises and Constitutional mandates.
​
To ensure that citizen aspirations and concerns are heard and addressed by political parties, WNTA also prepares a People’s Manifesto ahead of elections—grounded in widespread public consultations.
​
Further, WNTA also reviews the implementation against the international commitment to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on upholding the Leave No One Behind agenda.​​
JOIN US​
​
All our work is rooted in collaboration — with those committed to advancing the rights and dignity of marginalised communities.
​​
In that spirit, we’re always open to exploring new partnerships. If you would like to join us in the journey towards a more accountable and transparent governance system that prioritises the needs of the most vulnerable, please reach out — we’ll be glad to find ways to work together.
