In 2014, World Vision initiated accountability reporting at national offices, encouraging different offices to include an accountability component in their annual external reports, without having to write a separate report.

This effort commenced with an accountability workshop for 29 staff members, organised in Swaziland, where a template and guide were developed. The template served as a starting point for encouraging offices to adopt an accountability lens in their reports. Representatives were drawn from all WV Southern Africa offices and from World Vision International.
