Good governance

The Supervisory Board (SB) monitors and advises our management. In this way we comply with the 'Good Governance Code for good causes' of the Wijffels Commission and the guidelines of the CBF.

The Management Board submits all policy plans, annual plans, annual budgets and annual reports to the Supervisory Board for approval. The members of the Supervisory Board are appointed for a term of five years. After an initial term they can be renamed once. They receive no compensation. However, they can declare expenses incurred.

Openness and transparency

We find openness and transparency very important. Not only to win the trust of the people who support us, but also to improve the quality of our work. We see open data as a way to improve our work together with organizations worldwide. By publishing data online, others can use it for analysis, visualization and comparison. Moreover, it quickly becomes clear which organizations carry out which activities in which area, which promotes cooperation. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a forerunner in the field of open data and Dutch development organizations are regarded as the first organizations in the world to strive for full transparency and openness.
