Accountability in Development Aid

Accountability in development aid refers to the obligation of aid organizations, governments, and recipients to be transparent, responsible, and answerable for how resources are used and the outcomes achieved. It ensures that aid efforts effectively address genuine needs, prevent misuse or corruption, and build trust among stakeholders. This involves clear reporting, monitoring progress, and holding parties responsible for their commitments. Ultimately, accountability helps ensure that development aid truly benefits the intended communities and supports sustainable, positive change.
