Dear friends,
Sorry for my late response to the mail though the
seriousness of the matter raised in the mail justifies
my being late than never.
I thank Mr. Deepak Bharti for raising this important
issue. It is the importance of the issue that I am
ready to overlook his irresponsible and self-righteous
way of raising it - alleging Actionaid for being
non-transparent even without any attempt to know about
the measures adopted by Actionaid and its partners.
At least he should have contacted us before making any
comment (he too is a partner NGO of Actionaid).
Any way, let me reiterate that we are willing to go
the whole hog in so far as transparency is concerned.
I suggest that a meeting be called to take stock of
the type and level of transparency adopted by various
organisations. Meeting can be called in Patna or in
any district headquarter. I assure Actionaid's
participation whosoever takes the lead to organise the
meeting. If needed, we can also undertake the
responsibility of calling the meeting.
If any of you is interested we can send you written
material on our efforts to ensure transparency in
flood relief.

Another clarification. It is not fair to drag NAPM's
name in the flood relief. ActionAid has not worked
through NAPM for flood relief. At least this much of
responsible reporting is expected from any one who
claims to be champion of transparency.
Regards.
Pushpendra
Actionaid India, Patna
