ACT Alliance is committed to demonstrating accountability in every aspect of its work.
The ACT Quality and Accountability Framework 2019 summarises standards of quality towards which the ACT governing bodies, ACT members and the ACT secretariat can be held to account by our stakeholders, and by each other. It states ACT’s primary commitments and sets out an implementation plan and actions for improvement. It seeks to ensure that members have mechanisms of accountability to beneficiaries.
