Accountability International is pleased to announce its Accountability International Leadership Award (AILA) for 2019

Previously known as the AIDS Accountability Leadership Award, the Accountability International Leadership Award (AILA), was presented to Professor Lars O. Kallings who played an exceptional role in promoting accountability in the international response to HIV/AIDS in 2009.

10 years later, Accountability International is ready to present this award to persons or organisations who play an exceptional role in promoting accountability in the international response to human rights and inclusive sustainable development.

The long-term objective of the Accountability International Leadership Award (AILA) is that of our organisation as a whole: to contribute to a world where there is accountability for the lives, human rights and wellbeing of all persons, across all spheres of society.

As a watchdog ourselves, our mission is to amplify the diverse voices of marginalised communities, by ensuring that the voices of the community lead all our work, and as such we are interested in identifying and amplifying the voices and actions of those leaders who are accountable to the most marginalised through this award. We hope to contribute to the visibility of accountable leadership. We wish to showcase and demonstrate that accountable leadership is possible, and to provide examples to the public for them to learn from and follow.

The award aims to recognise not only people and organisations who work on accountability, but who they themselves work in an accountable manner. We are looking for true accountability ambassadors who work on increasing accountability and who embody accountability themselves, in the way they work.
