IASC Task Force 2 on Accountability to Affected People

Adapts the humanitarian response to ensure the systematic participation of affected communities as well as the timely and relevant response to feedback and needs voiced by affected communities, particularly the voices of women and girls, including by: 

• Supporting humanitarian leadership and coordination structures in the field (through Humanitarian Coordinators (HC), Humanitarian Country Teams (HCT), Inter-Cluster Coordination Group, and/or their equivalent) to prioritize and strengthen Accountability to Affected People (AAP) by piloting key IASC tools (including the AAP Framework, Results-Tracker, and the Complaints and Feedback Mechanisms’ standards) in 5-6 operations to further develop and finalize the tools and prepare them for global roll-out (pilots will also inform Operational Policy and Advocacy Group's (OPAG) decisions about system-wide efforts and priorities to strengthen collective AAP).
• Considering proposals from the sub-group on collective AAP (co-led by WFP and IFRC) and agreeing on the key “transformative” recommendations to take forward.
• Supporting HCs and HCTs in strengthening AAP through the establishment of a global inter-agency roster of technical capacity on AAP and deploying technical capacity.
• Finalize the compilation of Good Practices and Lessons Learnt on collective AAP to inform country-level actions to strengthen collective AAP efforts at both the strategic and technical levels.

Note: This group builds on the valuable outputs of the previous IASC Results Group 2 on Accountability and Inclusion, which completed their work end of March 2022.
