Governance
AccountAbility is a global, not-for-profit self-managed partnership, governed by its multi-stakeholder network, acting in accordance with the AccountAbility Charter.
Our governance structure embraces the concept of network governance, and utilises our networks in the assessment of, and commentary on our plans, behaviour, and impacts. We have created a governance system that involves and empowers those we work with most closely and who have a stake in our work, development and impact. The particular individuals involved in this process change over time as our work and strategy develop.
We are governed by a group of active stakeholders i.e. our partners, members, clients that we are currently working/engaging with, although we are responsible and accountable to ourselves. Strategic decisions are made by Senior Partners in accordance with the AccountAbility Charter, and as a group we have a stronger voice in our own development and impact.

The AccountAbility Charter frames how we work and the basis on which we will be held to account. It is made up of our vision, mission, values, core principles and basis of accountability. The Charter will be owned by the Council and will feed into the AccountAbility Forum and annual AccountAbility Accounts.
