Many humanitarian organisations have sound project-based Accountability to Affected People (AAP) systems. Yet, collective AAP approaches that cover an entire humanitarian response are relatively few. Collective approaches seek to bring together the views, feedback and complaints of affected people across the totality of a response. They generate analysis which is essential for strengthening the quality, targeting and timeliness of operations, and for guiding the strategic direction of Humanitarian Country Teams.
Different mechanisms being tried include joint call centres and radio programmes, as well as integrating AAP across the programme cycle and within pooled funding mechanisms. This webinar will draw on experience from the Humanitarian Coordinator in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the example of the IDP centre in Iraq.
In this webinar the speakers will:
· Outline the practical steps HCs and HCT members can take to put in place a system-wide AAP approach.
· Provide a practical example of what is required to establish and run a successful collective call centre.
The webinar will be facilitated by Ingrid Macdonald, Director, IASC STAIT.
