This chapter examines the impact that engagement (or non-engagement) by civil society groups has had on enhancing the accountability of the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT) within the fair trade movement. IFAT, the only global fair trade association that develops and regulates voluntary standards and certification mechanisms for organizations of southern fair trade producers and northern fair trade sellers, has the potential to play a unique global governance role within the fair trade movement. While other global governance regulatory bodies have increasingly contested IFAT’s accountability, the organisation has taken concrete steps to address these issues. This chapter first briefly explores the history and nature of fair trade initiatives. Second, the chapter identifies the key components of accountability in IFAT through outlining its governance and operational structure, including its monitoring system. The discussion then examines IFAT engagement with civil society organizations, with a specific focus on consumer groups. The following section outlines and evaluates IFAT. The chapter concludes by assessing the extent that engagement with civil society groups has shaped the accountability of IFAT, arguing that recent increases in interaction between the organisation and its membership, as well as with consumer groups, has resulted in a narrowing of IFAT’s accountability gap.
