Transparency & Quality
Working responsibly requires clear voluntary commitments and regular monitoring of projects, both internally and externally. In its annual reports (available in German), Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW) provides a transparent account of where and how donations are used. The organisation has also committed itself to disclosing certain additional information as part of the Transparent Civil Society Initiative (Initiative Transparente Zivilgesellschaft).
The progress and effectiveness of DSW’s projects in the various countries are reviewed using standardised reflection processes as part of quality management. The code of conduct to which all employees of DSW commit themselves is based on internationally recognised guidelines. In this way, we ensure continuous evaluation and commit ourselves to responsible behaviour.
