THE GOALS OF INTEGRITY ICON ARE THREEFOLD: - TO CREATE ROLE-MODELS AND CELEBRATE HONEST PUBLIC OFFICIALS;- TO INSPIRE YOUNG PEOPLE BY INDICATING THAT GOVERNMENT IS A CAREER PATH IN WHICH ONE CAN WORK WITH INTEGRITY AND HONESTY; AND FINALLY- TO CONNECT AND SUPPORT THE WINNERS TO HELP BUILD COALITIONS TO PUSH FOR FURTHER REFORM AND VALUE-BASED DECISION-MAKING OVER TIME.

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 | DECISIONS BENEFIT EVERYONE FAIRLY, AND PEOPLE LEAD SECURE LIVES. ACCOUNTABILITY LAB IS A TRANSLOCAL NETWORK NGO THAT WORKS AS A COLLECTIVE OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE A SHARED PURPOSE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CHALLENGES WE FACE AND WHAT THE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS REQUIRED TO SOLVE THEM. WE DO THIS BY: 1. SHIFTING NORMS AND BEHAVIORS - AROUND ISSUES OF ACCOUNTABILITY TO ENSURE THAT INTEGRITY BECOMES THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR WITHIN SOCIETIES (CAMPAIGNS); 2. EQUIPPING REFORMERS FOR COLLECTIVE ACTION - INSIDE AND OUTSIDE GOVERNMENT - WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS THEY NEED TO PUSH FOR BETTER GOVERNANCE THROUGH TRAINING AND LEARNING (KNOWLEDGE); AND 3. INFLUENCING POLICIES, PROCESSES AND PRACTICES - AROUND CRITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUES, THROUGH GROWING COALITIONS AND ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE (COMMUNITIES). |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | INTEGRITY ICON'S MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA REACH INCREASES ANNUALLY AS CAMPAIGNS GAIN TRACTION IN COUNTRIES AND OUR NETWORK OF PARTNERS EXPANDS. OUR SOCIAL MEDIA REACH EXCEEDED 2 MILLION VIEWS IN 2019 AND MORE THAN 4 MILLION VIEWERS IN 2020. ADDITIONALLY, COVERAGE BY RESPECTED INTERNATIONAL MEDIA OUTLETS INCREASES ANNUALLY ALONG WITH COVERAGE AT NATIONAL LEVELS. IMPACT - CAMPAIGNS IN 12 COUNTRIES WITH OVER 9,000 NOMINATIONS AND 60 WINNING ICONS; - AS A RESULT OF THE CAMPAIGN, WINNERS HAVE: BEEN PROMOTED TO MINISTERIAL POSITIONS (MALI); BEEN SELECTED FOR A GOVERNMENT ETHICS COMMITTEE (SOUTH AFRICA); BEEN ASKED TO BRIEF LAWMAKERS ON CAPITOL HILL ON GOVERNANCE (NEPAL); AND GAINED THE PROFESSIONAL RESPECT, LEGITIMACY, AND LEVERAGE NEEDED TO IMPLEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES AND POLICIES IN THEIR WORKPLACES. ICONS ARE ALSO ACTIVELY PUSHING FOR REFORMS IN THEIR AGENCIES. IN NIGERIA, KEHINDE AREMU (II 2018), WHO SERVES AS THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS (NYSC), HAS BEEN PUSHING FOR THE AUTOMATION OF PROCESSES IN THE COMPULSORY YEAR LONG SERVICE PROGRAM FOR GRADUATES. THIS EFFORT WOULD CHANGE PROCEDURES THAT ENCOURAGE CORRUPT EXCHANGES BETWEEN NYSC STAFF AND YOUTH CORPS MEMBERS FOR FAVORABLE WORK PLACEMENTS. RAP2REP/VOICE2REP - OUR MUSIC CAMPAIGNS SEARCH FOR UNDERGROUND AND UNDISCOVERED MUSIC ARTISTS WHO SUPPORT GREATER REPRESENTATION, PARTICIPATION, AND ACCOUNTABILITY. THE GOALS OF OUR MUSIC CAMPAIGNS ARE: - TO FIND WAYS TO ENGAGE YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGH MUSIC AROUND ISSUES OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND INTEGRITY; AND, - TO CHANGE THE APPROACH THAT THE INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE TAKES TO THESE CHALLENGES THROUGH POSITIVE MESSAGING AND ENGAGEMENT. IMPACT WITHIN MONTHS OF THE PANDEMIC ARRIVING IN LIBERIA, AL LIBERIA LAUNCHED A RAP2REP CAMPAIGN SPECIFICALLY ABOUT COVID-19 AND THE BEHAVIOURAL CHANGES THE POPULACE WOULD NEED TO MAKE IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE. - VOICE2REP NIGERIA'S FIRST PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED ALBUM, IN THESE PRESENT TIMES, FEATURES ALL THE MUSICIANS INVOLVED IN THE CAMPAIGN AND IS AVAILABLE ON ALL MAJOR STREAMING PLATFORMS INCLUDING SPOTIFY, ITUNES, AND AMAZON MUSIC. - IN 2021 WE ARE ROLLING-OUT SIMILAR CAMPAIGNS ACROSS AFRICA AND ASIA (STARTING IN ZIMBABWE); FILM FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOOLS AIM TO DEVELOP A GENERATION OF SOCIALLY-CONSCIOUS FILMMAKERS WHO HAVE THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO TACKLE ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUES THROUGH VISUAL STORYTELLING. THROUGH THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF SHORT FILMS IN LOCAL LANGUAGES, WE ALSO HOPE TO ENGAGE COMMUNITIES IN CONVERSATIONS AND ACTIONS ON INCLUSION AND GOVERNANCE ISSUES. IMPACT - OUR OUTREACH AND SELECTION TEND TO FOCUS ON WOMEN (MALI, NEPAL, NIGER, NIGERIA, AND PAKISTAN), YOUTH (SOUTH AFRICA AND ZIMBABWE) AND OTHER MARGINALIZED INDIVIDUALS. (HEAR FROM SARO, THE FIRST TRANSGENDER ACTIVIST TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR FILM SCHOOL IN PAKISTAN.) FILMS PRODUCED HAVE COVERED A VARIETY OF CRITICAL THEMES, SUCH AS GENDER RIGHTS (NEPAL AND PAKISTAN), PEACE-BUILDING (LIBERIA) AND HAVE CAPTURED CITIZEN'S PERCEPTION ON CORRUPTION AND PARTICIPATION (NIGERIA). - IN ADDITION TO GENERAL DISSEMINATION, FELLOWS HAVE REPORTED THAT THEIR FILMS ARE A USEFUL TOOL THAT CAN BE PRESENTED TO POWER HOLDERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND BEYOND TO STRENGTHEN THEIR OWN ADVOCACY WORK. ACCOUNTABILITY INCUBATOR - HELPS YOUNG CIVIL SOCIETY CHANGE-MAKERS (OR "ACCOUNTAPRENEURS") TO DEVELOP THE TOOLS, SKILLS, NETWORKS, OUTREACH EFFORTS AND FUNDING STREAMS THEY NEED TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE, EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY, INTEGRITY AND OPEN GOVERNANCE. SELECTED ACCOUNTAPRENEURS RECEIVE 12 MONTHS OF HANDS-ON, COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT INCLUDING: TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE-BUILDING, MENTORING, NETWORK BUILDING, MEDIA OUTREACH, AND STORYTELLING SUPPORT. THE GOALS OF THE INCUBATOR ARE THREEFOLD: - TO ALLOW US TO RE-BALANCE ASSISTANCE FOR CIVIL SOCIETY IN THE ACCOUNTABILITY SPACE TOWARDS BOTTOM-UP, LOCALIZED IDEAS FOR CHANGE; - TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS, WHO CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD ACCOUNTABILITY; - TO BUILD "UNLIKELY NETWORKS AND DIVERSE COALITIONS WHO CAN FIND NEW WAYS TO CREATE CHANGE. IMPACT - A TOTAL OF 119 ACCOUNTAPRENEURS HAVE PASSED THROUGH OUR INCUBATORS, WITH IDEAS RANGING FROM FILM SCHOOLS; TO BUILDING NETWORKS OF MUSIC ARTISTS PUSHING FOR INTEGRITY; TO TOOLS USING BLOCKCHAIN TO SECURE ELECTIONS. IN 2021 WE HAVE 100+ ACCOUNTAPRENEURS IN THE PROGRAM, OUR LARGEST GROUP TO DATE. - CHANGES THE ACCOUNTAPRENEURS HAVE CREATED INCLUDE: PUSHING FOR BUDGETS TO BE ALLOCATED TO SCHOOLS MORE EFFECTIVELY (PAKISTAN); CHANGES TO POLICIES IMPLEMENTED BY MINING COMPANIES (LIBERIA); AND THE RESOLUTION OF HUNDREDS OF ACCOUNTABILITY PROBLEMS FOR MIGRANTS (NEPAL); MAKING MUNICIPAL-LEVEL BUDGETS MORE TRANSPARENT AND ACCESSIBLE (NIGERIA); AND DIGITIZING MUNICIPAL SERVICE REQUEST PROCESSES (NEPAL). - ACCOUNTAPRENEURS ARE STARTING TO BUILD DYNAMIC COALITIONS AROUND THE ISSUES THEY CARE ABOUT. IN PAKISTAN, TANZILA KHAN, A DISABILITY RIGHTS ADVOCATE, AND MADEEHA RAZA, A FILM-MAKER, MET THROUGH OUR INCUBATOR AND DEVELOPED A FILM-SCHOOL AROUND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR RIGHTS FOR WOMEN WITH DISABILITIES. IN LIBERIA, MUSICIAN HENRY "AMAZE" TOE AND JUSTICE ADVOCATE JOHN KAMMA HAVE TEAMED UP TO DEVELOP AUDIO CONTENT AROUND RULE OF LAW ISSUES. - WE HAVE BROUGHT ON A STAFF MEMBER ON THE GLOBAL TEAM TO SUPPORT THE INCUBATOR ACROSS COUNTRIES, BRINGING TOGETHER THE KNOWLEDGE AND IDEAS, WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE CULTURAL AND CONTEXTUAL DIFFERENCES; - WE HAVE BEGUN TO SEGMENT THE INCUBATOR ACROSS COUNTRIES BY SECTOR OR THEME, TO GROW THE COALITIONS EMERGING IN SPECIFIC SPACES - SUCH AS NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (LIBERIA), CIVIC TECHNOLOGY (PAKISTAN) OR MIGRATION (NEPAL). RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS - WE SEE OURSELVES AS A LEARNING ORGANIZATION AND ENGAGE IN DEEPER RESEARCH AND LEARNING - IN CONJUNCTION WITH PARTNERS - INTO THE PROCESSES OF SHIFTING NORMS AND BEHAVIOURS. WE WILL SHARE WHAT WE FIND, ORGANIZING EVENTS, SPEAKING AT CONFERENCES, DEVELOPING LEARNING OUTPUTS (SUCH AS PODCASTS) AND ENGAGING REFORMERS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE GOVERNMENT AROUND IDEAS FOR CHANGE. IMPACT WE ARE PARTNERING WITH SOME OF THE LEADING RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THESE ISSUES INCLUDING THE BUILDING INTEGRITY PROGRAMME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD; THE ACCOUNTABILITY RESEARCH CENTER; THE STANFORD KING CENTER ON GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT; THE MIT GOV/LAB; AND THE LEIR INSTITUTE AT TUFTS UNIVERSITY. - WE ARE UNPACKING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF HONEST CIVIL SERVANTS IN NEPAL THROUGH RESEARCH WITH BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY, AND LEARNING HOW TO BUILD NORM SHIFTS INTO THE INTEGRITY ICON CAMPAIGN IN A MORE TARGETED WAY IN NIGERIA THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CORRUPTION, JUSTICE & LEGITIMACY PROGRAM (CJL) AT TUFTS UNIVERSITY. THIS COLLABORATION IS ALSO STRENGTHENING OUR CAPACITY TO MEASURE SHIFTS IN SOCIAL NORMS RELATED TO CORRUPTION. CIVIC ACTION TEAMS (CIVACTS) ARE A PIONEERING CITIZEN FEEDBACK, DIALOGUE, AND COMMUNITY VOICE PLATFORM TO ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. CIVACTS COLLECT CRITICAL INFORMATION FROM HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITIES SOLVING DAILY PROBLEMS FOR CITIZENS AND CLOSING THE LOOP ON CHALLENGES RELATED TO EVERYTHING FROM MIGRATION AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING TO NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY ISSUES. THE CIVACTS PROCESS ENSURES THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS HOW AND WHEN DEVELOPMENT WILL TAKE PLACE, BUILDING ACCOUNTABILITY INTO LOCAL DECISION MAKING IN REAL-TIME, AND CLOSING THE FEEDBACK LOOP BETWEEN CITIZENS, GOVERNMENTS, THE MEDIA AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR. IMPACT - WE'VE HAD MORE THAN 200,000 COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS THROUGH SURVEYS AND MORE THAN 150 MULTI-STAKEHOLDER TOWN HALL MEETINGS THAT HAVE HELPED CO-CREATE SOLUTIONS FOR HUNDREDS OF PROBLEMS. THROUGH VARIED AND CREATIVE DISSEMINATION METHODS SUCH AS INFOGRAPHICS, COMMUNITY RADIO STATIONS AND MURALS, WE'VE REACHED MILLIONS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON TOPICS RANGING FROM FISCAL TRANSPARENCY TO MIGRATION. - IN 2020 THE CIVACTS HAVE FOCUSED ON COUNTERING MISINFORMATION RELATED TO THE COVID-19 RESPONSE AND ENSURING THAT COMMUNITIES HAVE THE INFORMATION AND THE CHANNELS TO WORK WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. - AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO FEEDBACK FROM CONSTITUENTS DURING A TOWN HALL, A NEPALI GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL LAUNCHED A DOOR-TO-DOOR CAMPAIGN TO REGULARLY MEET WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AT THEIR HOMES IN ORDER TO HEAR NEEDS FIRST-HAND, WHICH HAS LED TO TANGIBLE EXAMPLES OF CO-CREATED AND CO-FUNDED SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVING WELLS AND ROADS AND PROVIDING ADEQUATE LIGHTING TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY SAFETY. - TWO MINING COMMUNITIES ENGAGED IN LIBERIA, LEADING TO SIGNIFICANT CONCESSIONS FROM MINING COMPANIES, INCLUDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF SCHOOLS, HEALTH CENTERS AND WATER POINTS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | - WE ARE BEGINNING TO ROLL-OUT THE CIVACTS IN NEW SECTORS SUCH AS PUBLIC SERVICES (NEPAL); AND SECURITY/JUSTICE (MALI). WE FEEL THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WHERE THE PROCESS COULD BE RELEVANT, INCLUDING GENDER RIGHTS (POTENTIALLY IN SOUTH AFRICA); - WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN INTEREST FROM ORGANIZATIONS WHO WOULD LIKE TO INTEGRATE CITIZEN FEEDBACK INTO THEIR WORK, SUCH AS MULTILATERAL ORGANIZATIONS (UN AND WORLD BANK) AND WILL LOOK TO SEE HOW WE MIGHT ADAPT THE CIVACTS MODEL TO SUPPORT GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY WITHIN THEIR WORK. COALITION-BUILDING, POLICY CHANGE, AND ADVOCACY WE WILL ACTIVELY WORK TO PARTICIPATE IN AND BUILD RELEVANT COALITIONS AND COMMUNITIES AROUND ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY AND OPEN GOVERNMENT AT THE LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS. WE HAVE BOTH EXCELLENT NETWORKS IN COMMUNITIES AND ACCESS TO ROOMS WHERE POLICY DECISIONS ARE MADE, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE USE THESE TOGETHER AND EFFECTIVELY. THE GOAL OF THIS WORK IS TO CHANNEL UPWARDS THE IDEAS WE ARE SURFACING FROM THE BOTTOM-UP TO INFORM AND INFLUENCE POLICIES, PRACTICES, AND PROCEDURES, AND ULTIMATELY SHIFT POWER. IMPACT WE ARE LEADING OR SUPPORTING COALITIONS - SUCH AS THE OPEN GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIP (OGP IN NIGERIA, LIBERIA, AND PAKISTAN) AND ANTI-CORRUPTION RELATED GROUPS (LIBERIA); - WE ARE ALSO BUILDING WORKING GROUPS - SUCH AS VOICE COALITIONS (MALI AND NIGER); AND WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR THROUGH THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM'S PARTNERING AGAINST CORRUPTION INITIATIVE (PACI); - WE ARE SUPPORTING DONOR COLLABORATIVES OR INITIATIVES - SUCH AS THE LIBERIA ACCOUNTABILITY AND VOICE INITIATIVE (LIBERIA); THE WORLD BANK'S WORK ON CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT (BOTH FORMALLY THROUGH THE EXPERT ADVISORY COUNCIL) AND INFORMALLY. WE ARE PART OF THE OGP STEERING COMMITTEE AND HAVE LED THE OGP PROCESS IN LIBERIA, LEADING TO KEY COMMITMENTS FROM THE GOVERNMENT INCLUDING THE DEPLOYMENT OF INFORMATION OFFICERS IN COUNTIES AND GREATER TRANSPARENCY AROUND ISSUES OF NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT; - WE HAVE BUILT A COALITION OF ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS MALI AND NIGER FOCUSING ON CITIZEN VOICE AND INCLUSION, WHO HAVE BEEN PUSHING FOR GREATER EQUALITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN DECISION-MAKING. - IN 2020 AND 2021 THE LAB IS CO-CHARING THE C20 ANTI-CORRUPTION WORKING GROUP, CHANNELLING THE VOICES OF CIVIL SOCIETY INTO THE G20 PROCESS; AND WE ARE ALSO THE GLOBAL NORTH REPRESENTATIVE ON THE TAP NETWORK STEERING COMMITTEE. |
