Beyond perceptions: how to mainstream accountability to affected people in humanitarian programming

The humanitarian sector has made progress towards greater accountability to affected people (AAP). In 2022, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Principals affirmed commitments on AAP and humanitarian accountability, stressing that the way in which “communities experience and perceive our work is the most relevant measure of our performance.” Emphasis is placed on ensuring that people are at the centre.
