Partnerships

Partnership Principles

• Mutual respect: all partners are valued and heard
• Transparency: open sharing of information, budgets, and decisions
• Complementarity: filling gaps, not creating competition
• Local leadership: local churches and communities lead; ACCO supports
• Accountability: partners are accountable to each other and to beneficiaries
• Safeguarding & PSEA: all partners sign ACCO’s Safeguarding & PSEA Code of Conduct
• Church-first approach: ACCO never bypasses local church authority in evangelism or discipleship
