Julie Bishop address to Council 2010
Accountability
ACFID promotes standards of ethical and effective development practice, especially through the ACFID Code of Conduct. Code signatories have multiple 'accountabilities' — to the people of developing countries to ensure that their needs and interests are given priority; to the Australian public who provide financial support; and to a range of donor governments and organisations.
ACFID members are accountable for how their organisations are managed, how they communicate with the public, and how they spend the funds they raise. Accountability, through adherence to the ACFID Code, ensures that the people in developing countries and the Australian public maintain confidence in the effectiveness and appropriateness of the sector's work.
