Over the past twenty years, humanitarians have stressed the need to be more accountable to people affected by crisis. Yet AAP still remains a key reform agenda for the system.
Amid funding cuts and the humanitarian reset, now could be an opportunity for leaders and donors to truly make AAP the base of a humanitarian system 2.0. ALNAP supports the use of AAP practices in all humanitarian responses. We explore how AAP leads to improved results and why progress has been slow, e.g. in our Explain Briefing on AAP and learning syntheses which showcase best practices and lessons on AAP.

According to IASC , accountability to affected populations (AAP) is an active commitment to using power responsibly by taking account of, giving account to, and being held to account by the people humanitarian organisations seek to assist.
