FAQs on Accountability to Affected Populations

This resource refers to the 2014 edition of the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS). A more accessible CHS will launch in March 2024. To find out more about the updated CHS and transitional phase, please visit the CHS website.

These FAQs provide an overview of what AAP is and why it is important. They answer questions on the five Commitments on Accountability to Affected Populations (CAAP) and provide practical advice on how they can be implemented, including references to key tools. The commitments overlap to a large extent with the commitments of the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS).
