GOVERNANCE, ACCOUNTABILITY & TRANSPARENCY
Vita is committed to maintaining the highest levels of good governance across our organisation and in our programmes. It is vitally important that our donors, partners, and the communities with whom we work have the utmost confidence in everything we do.
Vita has a range of policies and procedures in place that support our commitment to good governance, accountability and transparency and ensure that we operate with integrity and respect towards all our stakeholders.
