Peru, CARE Peru Accountability System: CARE Peru has displayed good practice when it comes to forward accountability. In the wake of the 2007 earthquake, it incorporated in its emergency response a number of mechanisms which allowed the affected population to understand and influence programming and provide critical feedback. Over the following years, that practice evolved into a more systematic approach to forward accountability, expressed in the “Guide to the organisation of systems for NGO accountability to the community (available below).” Since then, accountability practice has been incorporated progressively in the CO through the implementation of the Institutional Policy for Accountability and Transparency. CARE Peru, in partnership with CARE UK, is currently developing a study of CARE Peru's accountability system. The results of the study are expected to be published shortly.
In Haiti, CARE is implementing beneficiary accountability and feedback systems in the community resilience project in Grande-Anse. Through this project, real time feedback is used to inform on beneficiary satisfaction. For project documentation in French and English see here.
