Transparency

The EATG engages itself to be democratic and accountable, transparent and accessible to its members, people living with HIV, their supporters and advocates; to reflect in its membership the diversity of people living with HIV regarding religion, gender, sexual preference and lifestyle; to work to complement and collaborate with other relevant groups; to prioritise and regularly evaluate its activities according to its objectives, cost effectiveness, and fairness.

The EATG is a signatory and active contributor of the constantly evolving "Renewing Our Voice - Code of Good Practice for NGOs Responding to HIV/AIDS". This Code sets out a number of Guiding Principles which apply a human rights approach to the range of HIV/AIDS-specific health, development and humanitarian work undertaken by NGOs responding to HIV/AIDS, and guide both how we work as NGOs and what we do.

We increased our transparency by having statutes, financial information (budgets, financial reports), activity reports, work plan description published on the website. We are closely following and, in some instances, leading the development of transparency criteria for NGOs working on responding to the HIV epidemics.

EATG has been working hard on achieving the highest possible levels of transparency in its work, which was confirmed by an independent evaluation of the Fondation Prometheus, who publishes yearly transparency barometers. EATG was rated on the 8th place (out of 100 NGOs) in their report which evaluates how transparent the work of NGOs is.
