Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) IASC Accountability to Affected People ( #AAP ) specialists are in CAR working with the Humanitarian Country Team, the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group and key partners to develop key actions on collective #AAP in the country. #LeaveNoOneBehind #SaveLives Mohamed Ag Ayoya

‘As humanitarians, our primary responsibility is to people affected by crisis. They are the sole reason our institutions&programs exist. How communities experience&perceive our work is the most relevant measure of our performance.
Our accountability to them is paramount’ IASC AAP

We need more than tools to be #accountable to communities affected by crisis.

We need political will and collective effort to respond to the expressed needs of communities.

There has been a lot of debate and finger-pointing about the challenges to getting aid to people in need in Gaza.

So, let’s settle this once and for all.

I have urged Israel to lift all impediments on aid to #Gaza .

Now this - MORE impediments.

UNRWA is the beating heart of the humanitarian response in Gaza.

The decision to block its food convoys to the north only pushes thousands closer to famine. It must be revoked.

Launching the Flagship Initiative is the first step to putting communities at the centre of humanitarian decision-making.

There is much work to do as we broaden new forms of community engagement, maximize local capacities and adapt to changing needs.

We live in an age of war.

An age in which reaching for the gun is the first option.

An age in which humanitarian access is treated as optional, or indeed wielded as a weapon of war.

Thank you 🇪🇺EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 for engaging discussion.

Famine is imminent in Gaza.

The international community should hang its head in shame for failing to stop it.

In #Somalia , I witnessed how life can be transformed when women and girls are given the right tools, training and support thanks to @SEDHURO.

With resilience and courage, they write their own futures. This is their story 👇

100% of people in Gaza are estimated to be acutely food insecure.

HR/VP Josep Borrell Fontelles and Commissioner Janez Lenarčič urge Israel to allow free, unimpeded, and safe humanitarian access to all people in need and to cooperate with UNRWA and other @UN agencies and other…

As part of his opening remarks, Martin Griffiths was clear, “We need to get more aid funding directly to local groups and community organisations... We have the means to do this and must use them better” Martin Griffiths also reminded colleagues that “we serve not lead”. #EHF2024

Discussing pressing humanitarian issues with Martin Griffiths in #Brussels today at #EHF2024 . Against a backdrop of crises and growing humanitarian needs, we aim to put children front and centre of all our efforts.
