WHO is the signatory to numerous global Accountability to Affected People (AAP) commitments through the Inter Agency Standing Commitments and the Grand Bargain. This training will introduce emergency staff to WHO’s AAP commitments, support them in understanding how these apply across the WHE emergency response framework, and propose minimum actions and ‘how to’ guidance to support in implementing humanitarian health responses that are accountable to affected people.

The training introduces the 4 building blocks of AAP:
- AAP in the Humanitarian Programme Cycle
