The document discusses NGO accountability and knowledge sharing for sustainability in less developed economies. It focuses on research conducted on the effectiveness of NGO accountability mechanisms in Ghana. Upward accountability reports to donors contain project objectives, funds, and activities, but may not fully capture contextual knowledge and tacit knowledge important for understanding. Standard templates and formality of reports can facilitate sharing of explicit operational knowledge but may hinder sharing of situational knowledge on factors like appropriate project locations and timing. To better enable knowledge sharing for sustainable development, accountability mechanisms need to reconsider how information is gathered, used, and feedback is provided to fieldworkers.
