Accountability Counsel amplifies the voices of communities around the world to protect their human rights and environment. As advocates for people harmed by internationally financed projects, we employ community driven and policy level strategies to access justice.
Communities Program: Advocates in our Communities team worked at the request of communities harmed by international investment to raise their grievances through use of accountability offices as part of broader campaigns for justice. Impacts include agreements reached peacefully through dialogue, remedy delivered to local people, and vindication of local peoples grievances through official findings of fact. Details in Schedule O.
Policy Advocacy Program: Our Policy team has advocated for stronger accountability offices, creation of new ones where there are gaps, and for lessons from cases to translate into systemic change so that communities can access justice and institutions can prevent harm.

Research Program: Our Research team launched the Accountability Console, a public database of every publicly-recorded case ever filed to an accountability office. The Accountability Console also includes a tool to benchmark policies governing every aspect of the complaint process at each accountability office.
