PHAP Events
Event series on strengthening accountability and inclusion

Register now for this fall's four-part event series on strengthening accountability and inclusion in humanitarian response.

 

Progress has been made, but the humanitarian system – as a whole – is not accountable to the communities it serves. To help practitioners understand the current state of accountability to affected populations (AAP) and how they can be part of strengthening accountability and inclusion, PHAP is organizing a series of events together with the IASC Results Group on Accountability & Inclusion. Join us for four webinars touching on different aspects of accountability and inclusion, bringing together global and local perspectives:

 

Webinar on 8 September 2021

Making collective accountability to affected populations a reality

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 and 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.

Webinar on 5 October 2021

Practitioner insights:

Applying guidance on accountability and inclusion

Over the past years, organizations have developed a wide range of tools and guidance on how to approach accountability and inclusion, and several initiatives have emerged to provide support on implementing these approaches. But how do you find what would work best in your context among all this guidance? In this webinar, we will hear from practitioners who have gone through the process of selecting, adapting, and implementing tools in their programming. The webinar will also highlight the efforts made by the IASC Results Group on Accountability & Inclusion to make technical support more accessible.

Webinar on 2 November 2021

Accountability and inclusion in the COVID-19 response:

Lessons for the future

The COVID-19 response, like any other public health emergency, has required a focus on communication around associated risks and the promotion of healthy behaviours. However, in humanitarian settings, accountability and inclusion principles have been central to shaping this response. This webinar will explore lessons around Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) from the COVID-19 response and decades of practical experiences around accountability in the humanitarian sector and how they can inform future health and non-health emergencies.

Webinar on 7 December 2021

Complaints and feedback mechanisms:

Making much-needed changes

It has long been recognized that affected people must play an active role in decisions that affect their lives. Yet recent evaluations show that this is an area where the humanitarian sector is still lagging behind. There are few examples of systems that systematically capture the views and feedback from affected people, ensure they inform decision-making, and close the “feedback loop.” Many are not handling reports of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment appropriately, risking dangerous breaches of confidentiality. This webinar will be looking at some of the existing good practices, and at plans to scale them up and strengthen complaints and feedback mechanisms.
