Best Practice #17: Accountability

A quality adult literacy and basic education program is accountable to the funders, community and partners, who also share responsibility for the program’s success.

The Training Centre maintains a high level of accountability on a number of fronts. Staff provide regular reports to the board of the Native Women’s Association of the NWT on training activities.

They also report as required to their funders. This includes financial statements. At the same time, they send progress reports to the AHRDA committees that provide financial support to learners. They follow the Adult Basic Education curriculum developed by the Department of Education, Culture and Employment.

Through their efforts to build community, instructors become an integral part of that community. They trust and are trusted by the learners. This means they are very highly committed to the program. They deliver a quality professional program with limited funding.
