Most humanitarian organizations will have their own accountability mechanisms for those who are directly targeted by their activities. But the result is often a fragmented system that risks missing issues across the response as a whole, as well as the views, feedback, and complaints of those who may currently not be receiving assistance or protection. Humanitarian actors have been trying to address this through a greater focus on collective accountability, which to date, however, has had limited impact.
Join us on 24 June for a discussion on collective accountability, organized by the new IASC Task Force on Accountability to Affected People (AAP) and hosted by PHAP, where we will aim to generate ideas and understand better what is needed to drive a system-wide change for greater collective accountability for people who have been affected by crisis. The discussion will take its starting point in the vision of the AAP Task Force: “By having an accountable and enhanced leadership, supported by an inclusive system and architecture with quality resourcing available we will strengthen collective accountably to people affected by crisis and deliver the necessary system-wide change”. The session will draw on learning from a range of initiatives to capture ideas of opportunities, as well as overcoming barriers to change to help offer direction to advance the IASC Task Force plans for collective accountability to affected people.
The event will have captions with automatic translation to Arabic, English, French, and Spanish.
