ACCOUNTABILITY

Accountability

Accountability means we take responsibility for using our resources efficiently and achieving measurable results. It also means we must answer to our supporters, donors, partners and, most of all, to the children and communities. 

Open Communication:

At Global Hope in Action, we understand that to become a more accountable and transparent organisation, first, we must openly and transparently share information about our activities.

Secondly, we must ensure we proactively engage anyone with an interest in our work, providing mechanisms for feedback and complaints, so anyone with an interest in or affected by our work can input and influence our activities.

Child Safeguarding:

We do everything we can to ensure children’s experience of our organisation is, a positive and supportive experience, one that is completely free from any form of exploitation or abuse, and that children feel respected and safe.

Anyone representing our organisation must declare they have read, understood and will adhere to our child safeguarding policy at all times, both in their private and professional lives, to ensure the highest standards of behaviour towards children, young people and their families.

Accountability to Our Supporters:

Our supporters are critical to our success. In recent years we have been able to deliver real change on a bigger scale than ever before, but only because of the generosity of our supporters. Without you, we simply wouldn't be able to help children and communities at home or abroad. That’s why we’re committed to being fully transparent and accountable to you and sharing information with you that is tailored to your interests. 

Accountability to Donors and Partners:

As part of our accountability to institutional donors and corporate partners, we are committed to building capacity in the countries in which we operate and to establishing productive and mutually accountable relationships with our corporate partners, institutional donors or sector peers. 

Accountability to Our Staff and Volunteers:

As part of our accountability to our staff and volunteers, we are in the process of developing a people promise, so that we can better support and enable our people to achieve more impact on children.
