2006 Global Accountability Report Now Available

The Global Accountability Index is the first initiative to measure and compare the accountability of transnational organisations across sectors. In doing so, it extends basic principles of democracy to the global level. The 2006 Report presents the findings of research into the accountability of 30 of the world's most powerful organisations on the basis of four dimensions of accountability: transparency, participation, evaluation, and complaint and response (see Figure 1). Each sector has leaders and those that fall behind, there is significant room for improvement and for valuable learning to be shared across sectors.
