ALNAP Global Study on Consultation and Participation of Disaster-affected Populations
The Global Study on Participation and Consultation of Affected Populations in Humanitarian Action was a collaborative research project facilitated by ALNAP, in response to increasing concern regarding the lack of involvement of affected populations in the design, management and evaluation of relief programmes.
The Global Study aimed to increase understanding of the dynamics of consultation and participation through 6 country case studies encompassing a broad range of emergency types. Its overall objective was to improve downward accountability within the humanitarian system through the development of a ‘Practitioners’ Handbook’ for agencies and personnel working in different emergency contexts and stages.
