The Nonlinearity of Accountability


Marlen Mondaca views accountability as a game of Snakes and Ladders. You move forward, you slide back, you take detours, and you keep going anyway. 

In this 30-minute audio Reflection, the chair of Accountable Now’s Independent Review Panel sits down with Katie McCarthy to talk about what gets in the way of real accountability. The candid conversation covers many topics, including funding models that still reward compliance, the difficulties of measuring trust, and the future of accountability. 

A Decade of Impact, a Moment to Renew

45,000+ organizations operating in 180+ countries are using the Global Standard to guide their work and put people at the heart of their accountability measures. Now, the 10 cohosts are working to review and refresh the Standard to ensure its fit for the future too. If you work in or with civil society, and believe our accountability practice should center the people we work for and with, we want to hear from you.
