Following publication of the 2014 Accountability Report, awareness raising work amongst affiliates that had not contributed to that Report prompted them to prepare an Accountability Framework, which provides an index of all relevant internal policies and procedures used to ensure that they hold themselves to account, and others can hold them to account, in all that they do.
