In the classical sense, accountability is a process through which people entrusted with responsibilities are kept under check to carry out the tasks assigned to them. In a review of typology of accountability models, Droop et al. (2008) draw a distinction between other forms of accountability and mutual accountability. At the end of the spectrum is the Principal-Agent model. In this model, fiduciary responsibilities are left to management as an agent.
The concept of mutual accountability is rooted in Managing for Development Results (MfDR), which is a management approach that involves using performance information at all stages of the development process to make better and more effective decisions and steer development efforts toward clearly defined goals (AfCoP 2012). Mutual Accountability means that each Stakeholder takes accountability and responsibility for their actions within the framework of collective action.
