At Accountable Now, we advocate for a more dynamic and inclusive approach to accountability, one that centers and engages staff, communities, and the people who are most affected by CSOs’ actions. In our work, we provide publications and resources that give CSOs examples and guidance of how this approach is being put into practice.
Explore, use and adapt our range of resources and tools designed to support civil society organisations – and civil society at large – to practice a more dynamic approach to accountability.
