Main findings:
High scorers still have work to do
Among this year’s assessed organisations there are some very high scores. Four organisations score above 70 percent in all four dimensions. Three of these – ADB, Christian Aid, and UNDP – also score above 80 percent for their overall accountability capabilities. |

While these organisations should be commended, they cannot be complacent. Policy commitments need to be translated to practice. Those that lag behind need to raise their game
The gaps that exist between the top and the bottom organisations, both within and between sectors in the 2007 Global Accountability Report, are causes for concern. Those who lag behind are as much a part of the process of global governance as leaders and they need to enhance their accountability capabilities if solutions to global challenges are to be legitimate and effective.
Each sector has a strength and there is scope for cross-sectoral learning
The Global Accountability Reports show that no sector is all good or all bad. There are a number of examples of good practice within and across sectors, and there is scope for cross-sectoral learning. IGOs lead in transparency and evaluation, NGOs in participation and TNCs in complaint and response mechanisms.
