How We're Run
UNPO is committed to being accountable not only to our members and stakeholders but also to the public. Because of that, we regularly publish detailed reports on our website, including our strategic plans, financial statements, and outcomes of our projects and campaigns. This openness ensures that anyone interested in our work can access accurate and up-to-date information about our operations and impact.
By adhering to these principles and practices, UNPO ensures that it remains a trustworthy and effective advocate for the rights of unrepresented and marginalized communities worldwide. This commitment to transparency and accountability not only strengthens our organization but also enhances our ability to achieve our mission.
