Learn about accountability to affected populations and examine why it is important in humanitarian action
This module defines Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) and examines why it is important in humanitarian action broadly and in response to the Horn of Africa humanitarian crisis more specifically. It is tailored to those in back office or HQ roles, with a focus on financial accountability, internal controls and procurement, as well as humanitarian standards, principles and protection. The module provides opportunities for participates to identify actions they can take to increase accountability to the affected populations they are currently working with.
The facilitated module uses participatory methods and it is expected that learners will participate in discussions and activities in order to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are discussed. Participants will be offered opportunities to share relevant personal experiences and reflections to benefit their own and others' learning.
