4. Internal accountability

Internal Accountability refers to CARE’s accountability towards its impact groups. There is a wide range of practices, tools and mechanisms which programme staff can use to enable our impact groups to genuinely understand and influence CARE's work. CIUK's Governance Team offers technical expertise and support for country offices and other CARE family members who want to pilot FA mechanisms within existing or new projects, or intend to set up and/or strengthen FA systems. CIUK also offers guidance and support to COs who wish to pilot or roll out CI's Accountability Framework. In sum, some areas for training or technical support are:

• Orientation on basic concepts and principles of Internal Accountability
• Piloting Internal Accountability tools & mechanisms, such as in GALI
• Internal Accountability self-assessment
• Rolling out the CI Accountability Framework
• Setting up an internal accountability system, such as in that in CARE Peru

This training generally takes 1 - 2 days.

For more information, please contact the Governance & Accountability Advisor, Gilbert Muyumbu, at :mailto:muyumbu@careinternational.org.

6. Monitoring & Evaluation

CARE UK’s Governance M&E Guidance Note provides a framework for governance M&E in CARE.

We can also advise on data collection methods and link you with evaluation experts from external research institutions such as the Institute for Development Studies.
