The Independent Accountability Committee (IAC) ensures that all aspects of accountability and transparency, including functioning evaluation and audit mechanisms and other horizontal and vertical accountability measures, are in place and functioning for all its different working units. The IAC meets once a year to assess the implementation of activities. The results of their assessment will help identify and address issues and challenges, contribute to work strategies and reflection on the CSO Partnership’s mandate and work structures. Members of the IAC are elected from outside the Global Council. The detailed terms of reference for the IAC and information about their findings can be found here.
