From March to June 2004, a review was undertaken of ActionAid International’s Accountability, Learning and Planning System (ALPS). The review had three aims: 1. Assess how and in what way ALPS has supported the agency in operationalising Fighting Poverty Together (FPT) through its core requirements and seven key principles. 2. Identify key achievements, lessons and gaps in the system. 3. Provide a set of practicable recommendations for changes and improvement.
