Accountability to Affected People (AAP) & Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA)

INTRODUCTION

Accountability to Affected People (AAP) is an active commitment by aid agencies to use power responsibly to take account of, give account to, and be held to account by the people they seek to assist.  Systematic and coordinated community engagement ensures that aid responses and programming are accountable to affected people. In this light, system-wide accountability is essential to meeting organisational and collective commitments as outlined by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), the Grand Bargain Participation Revolution (Workstream 6) and the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS).

AAP and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) are intrinsically linked, since SEA is the most severe abuse of accountability to people in need. Humanitarian, development and peace-building actors in these areas need to work closely together on overlapping interests and activities, to share best practices and learn from each other.  The AAP/PSEA Regional Working Group aims to advocate and support the mainstreaming and integration of AAP and PSEA into all sectors of humanitarian, preparedness and development programs, in line with global guidelines.
