Learn how VWB is striving to be transparent and accountable.
Our Commitment
Veterinarians Without Borders North America (VWB) is committed to upholding the highest standards of accountability and transparency in all our operations. Guided by our values and ethical principles, we ensure that our partners, stakeholders, and the communities we serve have a voice in planning, implementing, and evaluating our work.
Ensuring Quality and Accountability
VWB is dedicated to meeting international standards of quality and accountability. We focus on ensuring that our actions are transparent, ethical, and inclusive. Our Program Information and Impact Reporting System monitors the progress of our global impact goals, and our organizational data is published in our Annual Report.
We emphasize integrating humanitarian accountability standards in our relief and emergency response work, ensuring that the particular needs of disaster-affected populations are met with integrity and respect.
Transparency in Information Sharing
Being accountable means sharing information in a transparent way. We publish a substantial amount of information online, including strategic plans, annual reports, advocacy policy reports, program reports, research reports, external evaluations, and media releases. Our Information Disclosure Policy defines the types of information that must remain confidential due to legal, operational, safety, and security considerations.
Policies That Guide Our Work
We adhere to several key policies that guide our ethical and transparent operations:
Feedback and Continuous Improvement: We encourage feedback on our policies and practices and are committed to continuous monitoring and improvement of our efforts. All stakeholders have the right to provide feedback, including complaints, and to receive a response.
