Locally-led Aid and Accountability: What Have We Learned? (AidAccount Conference)
Description
In prolonged humanitarian crises, individuals, groups, organizations, and diaspora communities play pivotal roles as humanitarian actors. They are often the first responders in emergencies and remain actively involved throughout the ensuing complex crises.
The AidAccount project has delved into how accountability is conceptualized and practiced at the intersection of civic and professional humanitarianism in protracted crises within Uganda, Somalia, and Sri Lanka.
In this lunch seminar, AidAccount researchers, together with Marangu Njogu (Windle International), Sever Dzigurski (KPSRL) and Hilde Salvesen (MFA) explored what we now know about understandings and practices of accountability in humanitarian assistance. The speakers draw on findings from the AidAccount project as well as eye-openers from the final conference. Moderator of the event was Cindy Horst, Research Professor, PRIO.
