Accountability Self-check 2012

In February 2018, PHJ implemented the NGO Accountability Self-check (ASC) 2012 to assess its own accountability and successfully acquired the Accountability self-check 2012 certification mark.
The ASC, a set of standards of accountability, was provided by Japan NGO Center (JANIC) for strengthening Japanese NGOs’ ability to answer to the expectations and requirements of stakeholders. The standards cover four aspects of NGO’s organization management, project implementation, financial status, and information disclosure activities. Please refer to the JANIC ASC site.
