Transparency Award

Transparency Award is for organisations at the cutting edge of NGO effectiveness and accountability.

In recent years, multiple stakeholders including funders, governments, supporters, the public, beneficiaries and partners have demanded that NGOs be more open and accountable about how funds are spent and with what result. Transparency that permeates all levels of the organisation is absolutely key to this fundamental shift in how NGOs manage and report on their financial flows.
