The Collective Accountability to Affected People (AAP) Framework (the Framework) is a tool developed by the IASC to enable Resident/Humanitarian Coordinators (RC/HCs), Humanitarian Country Teams (HCTs) and UN Country Teams (UNCTs) to prioritize actions to strengthen response-wide AAP. The Framework outlines six outcomes and related actions to seek out, hear and act upon the voices and priorities of affected communities. It is a tool to enable responsive and people-centred humanitarian action in support of local and national systems.
IASC Gender Accountability Framework (GAF) Report for 2022 provides a snapshot of the IASC’s gender outputs and allows for cross comparison with previous years. The document benefited from inputs provided by UN Women and OCHA offices operating in 29 crisis contexts, the highest response rate to date. The improvement in quantity and quality of responses suggests that there is growing awareness of and familiarity with the IASC Gender Policy and overall stronger prioritization of gender by the humanitarian sector.
The IASC Centrality of Protection in Humanitarian Action report for 2022 provides an analysis of how the Centrality of Protection (CoP) has been implemented across crisis contexts where the humanitarian cluster system is activated. It examines measures taken by the HCs/HCTs to address critical protection risks, with the support from the Protection Clusters/Sectors, OCHA and humanitarian partners. It also considers some of the challenges and gaps that operations face with the implementation of CoP, as revealed through consultations and surveys.
Intended to support cluster coordinators, the document aims to facilitate the proactive design of responses that foster coherence and complementarity between lifesaving, development, and peace interventions towards collective outcomes. This requires collaborative, joint or joined-up analysis, planning and programming, as well as coordination with development and peace actors under the leadership of the RC/HC.
