Democracy

The sponsoring organisation needs to be held accountable to the commitments it makes at the beginning of the process. This might happen through reporting back at regular meetings or by publicising their updates the the broader community.

Vulnerabilities with examples:

  • Power Imbalance: Accountability being skewed in favor of powerful groups.
  • Post-Conflict: Difficulty in establishing trust in accountability mechanisms.

Mitigating Techniques/Strategies, with Examples:

  • Establish independent oversight mechanisms for accountability.
  • Involve international observers or mediators in post-conflict settings.
