Transparency and openness
Transparency is a prerequisite for accountability. We are committed to being accountable to all stakeholders. We ensure that the details on how we work, and where our funds go, are accessible and visible.
That’s why we adopted an open information policy, outlining what information we share and how. We strive towards the highest standards of openness.
NRC is a signatory of the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), which aims to make information about international aid easier to find, use, and understand. We publish information through IATI on a quarterly basis.
