Across the globe, CSO accountability practitioners are grappling with the same questions:
Are we doing enough to protect our stakeholders and organizations? What is the right way for organizations to rightsize their safeguards? What is good enough? And how do we ensure that the systems we put in place are salient enough to grow, change and adapt with our organizations?
This May, join three expert panelists as they share their experiences in safeguarding, anti-fraud and corruption, data privacy, and ethical procurement to share their experiences, and explore big questions from the audience.
Fixed-date sessions, free and open to everyone in the AN network. First session: Thursday 26 March @ 1pm UTC.
Additional services for Members sharing more about advisory and peer-review support.
Flexible add-on support for members who want to go deeper.
A chronological journey through the year, featuring monthly deep dives into the pillars of accountability that define our network.
Check back in June for the next monthly update.

In April, we're meeting in-person with CSO Practitioners to co-learn around how safeguarding can be strengthened in partnership with funders. We'll be taking our existing research to drive a co-creation process to develop safeguarding practice standards for funders - a critical step toward aligning funder practice and maximizing efforts to keep people and communities safe.
