Staff Updates - Resignation of our ED Ricki Tshepo Kgositau-Kanza

The Executive Director of Accountability International, Ricki Tshepo Kgositau-Kanza gave her resignation letter to the Accountability International Board on February 18, 2022. For personal reasons Ricki is stepping down and it was agreed that it would be effective from February 28, 2022.

“Ricki has been the Executive Director at Accountability International for almost five years. During her leadership, the organisation has run numerous successful projects and campaigns, revived the Accountability Award and revised its strategy into a more clearly defined support for the most marginalised populations. Ricki has been an excellent representative when advocating for accountability for all people at conferences and in committees and has a powerful impact in this area. It is we sadness we see Ricki leave us and we wish her and her loved ones all good luck in the future.”

Rodrigo Garay, Founder and Chair of the Board of Accountability International

“I will dearly cherish my time at AI and I truly believe this is the most beautiful organisation I have ever had opportunity to work for and lead as its director. I take with me some fond memories and friendships that have been borne in my time with colleagues at AI that I will cherish all my life. I do believe that our paths with various colleagues are bound to meet or merge in future when I am well and able to continue contributing to our inclusive global health and development, universal human rights and accountability agenda.”

Accountability International (AI) is an African-led civil society organisation that works to improve accountability to the most marginalised. From our head office in South Africa, we conduct research and advocacy that allows us to do our work as a watchdog and hold various leaders accountable.

AI was established in 2005 with the mission to follow up on commitments to the AIDS epidemic that were made by governments. Our work has since expanded to sexual and reproductive health and rights, malaria, tuberculosis, and non-communicable diseases, as well as underlying causes such as inequality and discrimination. We work on holding all leaders accountable, such as business, civil society, funding partners and bi and multi-lateral development organizations. AI is non-partisan and non-confessional.
