Accountability
Accountability is built in, not bolted on.
For a child- and youth-centred institution, accountability cannot be a report written once a year. It is the structure of the institution itself: how it is governed, how it protects children, and how it positions itself honestly within national and international frameworks. These three disciplines are where a serious partner should look first.
Establishment Phase
Board and executive roles currently overlap.
During the Establishment Phase, Genette Foundation is led operationally by its two current senior executives, the Project Director and the Strategic Director. The same two founders also hold the registered Board offices of Chair and Secretary respectively. The wider Board of Trustees is being constituted, and the Foundation’s governance architecture is designed to broaden oversight as that process is completed.
The three disciplines
Where accountability lives.
Each of the three is a full page in its own right. Together they are the evidence a partner diligences before any conversation about funding.
GOVERNANCE
Governance & Leadership
Board governance, the committee architecture, leadership, and the fiduciary and safeguarding controls designed to hold the institution accountable.

Strategic Alignment
How the Foundation's design maps to Tanzania Development Vision 2050, national frameworks and international child-rights standards, stated as positioning rather than endorsement.
See the alignmentAccountability is a standard the Foundation holds itself to during the Establishment Phase, before scaling child-facing services, not a claim that every system is already complete.
Test it against the documents.
Accountability should be verifiable, not asserted. The public document set sets out the governance, financing and safeguarding logic in full, and the Foundation's leadership is available to serious partners conducting diligence.
