Happy Birthday to us! Accountability Counsel’s Board and Staff celebrate 7 years in operation today. We are grateful for the support of so many people, from student law fellows, to CSO partners, to funders, who have enabled our success as we serve people to defend their human rights and environment around the world.We have served communities in 35 countries, we’ve improved accountability policy or practice at all major development finance institutions, and we are thrilled to have achieved victories that have enabled our clients to protect their rights.

We are particularly grateful to our earliest funders who took a bet on us and believed that we could succeed, make an important impact, and grow. Among these are Echoing Green, Sigrid Rausing Trust, the Flora Family Foundation, and an anonymous donor.We look forward to the next 7 years of making impact! Please join us! We welcome your donations here and you can learn about other ways to get involved here.
