As well as working closely with members, we strive to work across a global CSO accountability network on a variety of projects and initiatives.

We can only be effective and successful if we collaborate, exchange, and learn from each other. This is why we build and strengthen relationships with initiatives, projects and organisations that also work towards changing accountability practices in CSOs.
In 2023, Accountable Now and Accountability Lab announced a new strategic partnership that will enable both organizations to contribute more sustainably to the global accountability ecosystem, deepening their advocacy, research, and stakeholder engagement.
As a global membership-based organization, Accountable Now supports civil society to become more accountable, transparent, and responsive to stakeholders. Since 2019, Accountability Lab has been a valued member of Accountable Now. Their global network spans twelve countries and focuses on making governance work for people through creative approaches to accountability, transparency, and open government.
Through this partnership, Accountable Now officially becomes part of Accountability Lab’s network.
The Dynamic Accountability Community of Practice is a joint initiative by CIVICUS, Restless Development, Keystone Accountability and the Global Standard Partnership. It is a space where a wide range of civil society practitioners can come together to share good practices, discover useful resources, and learn from one another on the topic of Dynamic Accountability
The Global Standard Partnership is a global network of nine established accountability initiatives, representing more than 1,500 CSOs from across the world. Together the partners co-created the Global Standard for CSO Accountability, a common accountability reference framework for CSOs that places continuous stakeholder dialogue at the centre of their work in order to rebuild trust in CSOs and create a more enabling civil society environment.
Since its launch in 2017 during International Civil Society Week, the Global Standard continues to grow and gain recognition as a model and tool for strengthening civil society, and promoting strong, inclusive partnerships and locally led action.
Accountable Now is a proud founding partner of the Global Standard and held the Secretariat from 2017 – 2023.

Social Value International (SVI) is a global network focused on social impact and social value, working with its members to embed core principles for social value measurement and analysis, to refine and share practice, and to build a powerful movement of like-minded people to influence policy. Accountable Now began an institutional partnership with SVI in 2018 in order to exchange learnings and explore synergies around how we measure, report, and communicate about impact.
Bond is the UK network for organisations working in international development. They unite the international development and humanitarian sector to drive global change by connecting people in the sector, influencing governments and policy-makers at national and international levels and strengthen organisations to be more impactful and sustainable through training, resources and support services.
The International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) is a donor driven initiative to provide more transparency on aid flows. It is a reporting protocol that allows for greater comparability of a huge quantity of data. As such, it complements Accountable Now’s intention to provide more information on the quality of CSO work. Accountable Now is a IATI member as of January 2014. This membership commits Accountable Now to promote the IATI standard and allows it to participate in its further development to better suit the needs of CSOs.
