What has IPOA done to improve accountability of the industry since its inception?
Since our inception, IPOA has done much to improve accountability by promoting high operational and ethical standards of firms active in the Peace and Stability Industry, and by engaging in a constructive dialogue with policy-makers throughout the world about the growing and positive contribution of these firms to the enhancement of international peace, development, and human security. The vehicles that we have employed to undertake this reform are as follows: governmental advocacy; promoting ethical standards and in turn engaging all relevant stakeholders; hosting roundtables and forums; publishing ground-breaking research; providing information to media; communication/information sharing with NGOs; providing training courses; and fielding complaints about the industry.
