Explore insights from Integritas 360’s 2020/21 Accountability and Whistleblowing survey, which gathered feedback from staff and volunteers of Accountable Now member associations. The survey examined organizational transparency, the presence and implementation of reporting frameworks, responses to unethical behavior, and potential barriers to using existing whistleblower mechanisms. This analysis provides valuable perspectives on enhancing accountability and building a more open, trusted environment in civil society organizations.

In 2020/21, Integritas 360 conducted an Accountability and Whistleblowing survey among staff and volunteers from Accountable Now’s member associations on their awareness, understanding, and perceptions around accountability and reporting within their organisation.

The survey was guided by the following themes:

  • How open and accountable was their organisation in general?
  • Had it implemented various elements of a reporting / whistleblower framework?
  • How did it react to reports of actual, or suspected, cases of unethical behaviour and / or
    corruption?
  • Are there any obstacles to staff or volunteers using the current mechanism in place?
