Listening and responding to our stakeholders: accountability

Accountability is core to Christian Aid's values and the principles that inform our behaviour in all that we do and help define our approach to policy, campaigns, fundraising and communication.

These values include being authentic - being trusted to do the right thing, being rooted in the lives of real people, telling the true story, communicating real voices and having an open and honest relationship with the church.

Being accountable to our stakeholders is core to our organisational strategy; where we have committed to improve our ability to be an open, transparent and learning organisation, accountable for its actions and able to meet high standards of public and stakeholder reporting.

This means holding ourselves openly responsible, in ways that involve our key stakeholders, for what we believe, what we do and say we will do - and for showing what we have done compared to what we said we would do.
