The National Policy on Voluntary Sector states that “there is reason to believe that accreditation of VOs will lead to better funding decisions and make the funding processes more transparent.  Further, accreditation may provide incentives for better governance, management and performance of VOs.  No reliable accreditation system is in place at present.  The Government will encourage various agencies, including those in the voluntary sector, to develop alternative accreditation methodologies to be debated and gain acceptability in the voluntary sector, before considering their application to Government funding of VOs.” In pursuance to above, the Planning Commission has set up a Task Force to examine the issues related to the evolution of an independent, national level, self-regulatory agency for the voluntary sector and to develop accreditation methodologies for voluntary organizations. The Task Force held its first meeting on 2^nd July,2009 and second meeting on 23rd September, 2009.
