Webinar on Making Collective Accountability to Affected Populations a Reality 

On 8 September, join PHAP and the IASC Results Group on Accountability & Inclusion for the first session in their event series on Accountability and Inclusion 

On 8 September, PHAP together with the IASC Results Group on Accountability & Inclusion will organize the first webinar as part of an event series on strengthening accountability and inclusion in humanitarian action. Accountability to affected populations (AAP) is an essential part of good humanitarian programming. But while some organizations may integrate it well into their own operations, people do not live in silos and their needs and priorities regularly cut across different programs. As a result, they are often faced with confusing and overlapping feedback and engagement systems. Collective approaches to AAP seek to address this by focusing on the overall humanitarian response and putting people rather than projects at the center.

Building on the operational research on Communication and Community Engagement conducted by the Humanitarian Policy Group at ODI, as well as its ongoing work around inclusion, the first webinar will consider some of the lessons emerging from this research and explore how such approaches can be encouraged, particularly by leadership at country level.

Participants will have the chance to hear from a panel of experts during this event and share their questions and views on how to improve AAP in humanitarian action.
