MEALNA has extensive experience in assessing and strengthening accountability systems within humanitarian and development programs. Our work covers all components of accountability — ensuring that organizations are transparent, responsive, and inclusive in their engagement with affected populations.
We conduct comprehensive accountability system assessments, examining:
• Information sharing — evaluating how effectively key project information is communicated to communities.
• Community participation — assessing the extent to which communities are engaged in the design, implementation, and evaluation of programs.
• Feedback and complaint mechanisms — reviewing the functionality, accessibility, and responsiveness of feedback and complaint handling systems.
• Learning and continuous improvement — analyzing how organizations use feedback and monitoring data to improve program quality and adapt interventions.
• Governance and oversight systems — evaluating internal governance, leadership accountability, and the effectiveness of monitoring and decision-making structures.
Through this integrated approach, MEALNA helps organizations build robust accountability frameworks that align with the Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS), the IASC Accountability Framework, and other international best practices.
Our assessments not only measure compliance but also provide practical recommendations for strengthening institutional culture, transparency, and two-way communication between organizations and communities
