Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP)

Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) refers to the commitment of organizations providing aid or services to ensure that the people they serve are actively involved in decision-making and their needs and rights are respected. It means listening to affected communities, being transparent about actions, and adjusting support based on their feedback, to build trust and improve outcomes. Essentially, AAP makes sure that aid efforts are responsive, fair, and considerate of the perspectives and well-being of those impacted, fostering a partnership rather than a one-sided aid relationship.
