The research program on hybrid accountability is a five-year action research program led from the Stockholm Environment Institute and funded by the Swedish research council Formas. It aims to contribute to improvements in the accountability of multinational corporations and investors when engaging in the plantations sectors in South East Asia, specifically palm oil in the Philippines.
Hybrid accountability refers to the prospect of designing new remedies that work across local and international contexts and blend judicial instruments (coercive) with multi-stakeholder negotiated institutions (non-coercive).
The focus is on designing and testing institutional innovations to strengthen the access to remedies in local, national and international contexts. Other case studies may be added during the research process in collaboration with interested partners.
