IRC signs up to the INGO accountability charter

Recently, IRC has become a member of the INGO accountability charter (www.ingoaccountabilitycharter.org) which provides a recognized standard for improving and reporting on our own governance. Improving governance by governments, businesses and NGOs is necessary to deliver on our vision of sustainable water and sanitation services. We actively work to support better governance in the sector through various activities, but we also believe it is important to apply the best practices of transparency, accountability and integrity within our own organisation. Signing the charter confirms our commitment to improve these aspects of our organisation, and provides a framework approved by the Global Reporting Initiative against which we will report on an annual basis. In the future our reports will be published on our web site.
