Accountability

Oxfam believes that citizens have a right to hold governments and institutions accountable, to expect them to respect their rights and do what they say they will do.

Likewise, we believe that non-governmental organizations should be accountable to the communities in which they work, to partner organizations, and to those from whom they receive support.

To that end, we publish our Strategic Plan 2007-2012, "Demanding Justice," and our internal governance rules and policies, our compliance with required standards, voluntary codes of conduct and the results of our work through evaluations, including a major evaluation – "Promises to keep" – of our Strategic Plan, 2001-2006 "Towards Global Equity."

Finally, we publish the audited Financial Accounts of Stichting Oxfam International (pdf, 1.34mb).
