We have undertaken to constantly improve quality of our international mission and diaconia activities and our accountability towards our stakeholders: our partners, target groups, donors, volunteers and the public. We implement with a rights and faith based perspective, principled humanitarian action and development effectiveness.
Together with our partners, we have a mutual desire to be accountable to communities living in vulnerable situations. This includes ensuring that people are involved in the work and the decision that affect them.
We also focus on improving the quality of our partnership, through ensuring that partner churches and organisations participate in our decision making processes through meetings, consultations, continuous dialogue, correspondence and partner surveys.
