INTEGRITY ACTION
Integrity Action is an innovative and award-winning charity devoted to fighting poverty and inequality through citizen-centred accountability. We equip citizens to assess vital development and humanitarian projects in their communities, report problems publicly, and work with those responsible to ensure the problems are fixed. Integrity Action has helped citizens across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East identify and solve thousands of problems and in so doing transform hardships into real-life benefits for hundreds of thousands of people. Our pioneering approach uses our tried and tested citizen-centred methodology and tools.
In 2024, we were awarded the Green Accountability technology accelerator from the World Bank. This has propelled a journey into understanding how our methodology can be integrated into the climate sector. Our first project focuses on integrity in the voluntary carbon market by applying our methodology to support citizen monitoring work within carbon projects. This purpose of this role is to propel and enhance that initiative and help to shape our wider green accountability programme. You’ll leverage your climate expertise to provide technical guidance for programme design and fundraising.
