  1. Reversing the telescope: Evaluating NGO Peer-Regulation Initiatives Dr Angela Crack University of Portsmouth angela.crack@port.ac.uk

  2. Research Design To what extent have peer-regulation initiatives been effective in enhancing the accountability of leading humanitarian and development INGOs? Sample: Senior staff members from leading humanitarian and development INGOs, with responsibility for the accountability policies of their organisation.

  3. Benefits of Peer-Regulation • Catalyst for change. • Signal of credibility.

  4. Limitations of Peer-Regulation • Regulatory burden. • Ambiguity regarding practical application of the standards. • Challenge of organisational diversity amongst member NGOs. • Need to embed a ‘culture of accountability’.

  5. Policy Recommendations • Creative thinking is needed about the way that accountability can be practiced and documented, other than through paper documentation. • Need for wider consultation in revisions of the initiatives. • HAP should be interpreted and applied in a more flexible way, to accommodate organisational diversity. • Promote attitudinal shift towards accountability.
