2007 Global Accountability Report

The Global Accountability Report is an annual assessment of the capabilities of 30 of the world?s most powerful global organisations from the intergovernmental, non-governmental, and corporate sectors to be accountable to civil society, affected communities, and the wider public. The Report uses the four dimensions of the Global Accountability Framework - transparency, participation, evaluation, and complaint and response mechanisms - as the basis of the assessment. Over time, the Report will reassess organisations to track changes in accountability and highlight progress. The aim of the Report is to broaden understanding of and commitment to common principles of accountability among transnational actors from all sectors. It seeks to highlight accountability gaps, encourage the sharing of good practice within and across sectors, and advance accountability reform.
