Recently, Green Partners Association (GPA) participated in the Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) Capacity-Building Retreat organized by OCHA, bringing together humanitarian actors from crisis-affected regions of Cameroon to strengthen accountability and community engagement in humanitarian programming. The retreat provided a valuable platform for participants to review progress, share experiences, and identify practical strategies for ensuring that affected communities remain at the centre of humanitarian action.
Key discussions focused on reviewing and adopting recommendations from the AAP Perception Survey, strengthening AAP coordination and leadership structures, reinforcing linkages between Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), and Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and validating the 2026/2027 AAP Work Plan. Participants also identified technical and operational capacity gaps, developed priorities for future capacity-building, and explored ways to strengthen joint Complaint and Feedback Mechanisms (CFMs) to enhance transparency, trust, and community participation.
Through interactive group discussions, practical exercises, and peer learning, participants exchanged good practices, reflected on challenges, and developed organizational action plans to improve accountability at all levels. The retreat concluded with a renewed commitment to strengthening collaboration, promoting meaningful community engagement, and advancing the Humanitarian Reset through more responsive, inclusive, and accountable humanitarian programming.
