For over 15 years, we have been dedicated to shifting power, promoting equity, and embedding Dynamic Accountability into everyday practices. We work closely with civil society organizations to help them reflect, learn, and adapt—encouraging new, inclusive, and participatory ways of working that meaningfully engages all stakeholders.
Our founding Members are 11 of the largest internationally-operating civil society organizations working across international development, environmental, human rights and advocacy issues, and many remain as active Members of our community today.
Our support is informed by learning + adaptation, power shifting, and equitable collaboration.

Behind Accountable Now is a team of accountability experts and practitioners from different sectors and geographies, united by a shared commitment to promoting justice, equality, and accountability.
The Global Standard for CSO Accountability is recognized as a benchmark and tool for fortifying civic space, bolstering the freedom of association, and fostering locally-driven initiatives. Accountable Now and eight other accountability networks from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean worked together for over two years to develop the standard.
Accountability Lab (AL) is a global translocal network that makes governance work for people by supporting active citizens, responsible leaders, and accountable institutions. Their goal is a world in which resources are used wisely, decisions benefit everyone fairly, and people lead secure lives. In 2023, Accountable Now officially joined AL’s network, continuing to maintain an independent Board of Trustees, which includes a permanent member representative seat for AL.
