August 3-5, 2010, staff and partners from six ActionAid programmes (Bangladesh, Ghana, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, UK) joined the ActionAid International IASL team at the Institute for Development Studies IDS in Sussex University , UK to discuss and document ActionAid’s accountability concept and practices. The initiative, which involved countries critically examining and documenting their accountability practices, was designed to inform an updated accountability approach for ActionAid, and also fed into an IDS led project on Reimagining Development in light of the financial crisis. Mr. Partha Hefaz Shaikh from Action Aid Bangladesh and Mr. Md. Arifur Rahman from YPSA (DA12) were the country delegates to this initiative.
