Transparency and accountability

These standards are part and parcel of all our contractual relationships, be it with organisations in the field, suppliers, or other parties.  

We like to ensure compliance through a culture of accountability. This means we are transparent about mutual rights and obligations and our criteria when selecting partners, projects, and suppliers. Our policies are imposed on everyone we work with.

Annual reports and accounts

Cordaid continues to make a positive impact around the world. Many of you participated in this mission, and we are very grateful for that. With great pride, we would like to share how, in 2023, we implemented 236 projects in 35 countries, together with our 393 funding and implementing partners.

Let’s look at a few examples: over 17 million people benefited from our healthcare interventions, more than half a million people received humanitarian assistance, and we supported as many to improve their livelihoods.

We appreciate your support. Let’s make each year better than the last.

Below are our financial statements for the past years. However, since 2023, these have been included in the annual report (above).
