Accountability to Affected People Working Group

The Afghanistan Accountability to Affected People Working Group (AAP WG) supports the Humanitarian Country team, the Inter-Cluster Coordination Team, UN agencies and NGO partners to amplify community voices and aspirations in humanitarian and development programmes. The AAP WG plays a crucial role in supporting leaders and decision-makers across Afghanistan to shift the decision-making power to the hands of communities affected by crises. The AAP WG is chaired by UNFPA, and co-chaired by ACBAR.
