CSOs, Nonprofits and Accountability Questions

We often expect Civil Society and Non-Profit Organizations to lead the charge for transparency and good governance — but how accountable are they themselves? In this thought-provoking episode, we ask the tough questions: Are CSOs practicing what they preach? What happens when internal accountability fails? And how can organizations rebuild trust with donors, partners, and the public?

We also delve into the critical issue of accountability within Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) must pay attention to as ignorance is not an excuse in law. As these groups champion transparency, good governance, and social impact, how well do they uphold these same values internally? We unpack the gaps, governance lapses, and best practices that can help restore trust and credibility in the development space.
