Strengthening internal accountability in the context of programme-based approaches in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: "In broad terms 'accountability refers to a chain of relationships in which actors are accountable upwards (to donors and other actors...), downwards (to target groups and beneficiaries...) and inwards (to organizational missions, visions and values)' (Cornwall/ Lucas/ Pasteur 2000). Accountability manages the power relations between actors, which interact or affect each other directly or indirectly. It can be understood as 'giving an account' to another party who has a stake in what has been done. The core dimensions of accountability are: transparency; participation; evaluation, ; and complaints and redress (ODI 2005). This paper distinguishes between two types of accountability, namely, external and internal (domestic) accountability. External accountability in this context refers to accountability of aid-receiving governments to international donor community, including international financial institutions, creditors and foundations."
