How is accountability assured in Foundation programming?
AKFC places great emphasis on effective management and accountability. Through its affiliation with the Aga Khan Development Network it has established an important “on-the-ground” presence in developing countries. Highly qualified local staff ensure that resources are used effectively. Canadian staff visit Foundation projects to assess their programs and make recommendations. The Foundation asks external organizations such as the World Bank and CIDA to independently monitor and evaluate its projects, and makes these reports available to the public.
