Abstract

The project aimed to enhance current understandings on issues of accountability in the context of research institutes (RIs) that engage in policy relevant research. The first phase of Accountability Principles for Research Organisations (APRO) formulated a framework of accountability guidelines for research organisations founded on four principles of accountability: participation, transparency, evaluation and complaints handling. Given their influence and potential impact on policy, it is important that RI’s are accountable to those on whom they will have an impact. This report covers project activities, organizations, stakeholders, outcomes and recommendations.
