Drawing on a recent global review from BASIC Research, this webinar will bring together a panel of local and global perspectives to discuss current trends in the accountability of social assistance in crises and explore what the evidence and experience view as promising practices going forward.

This BASIC Research webinar will examine shifts and emerging trends in the accountability of social assistance during crises. A recent global review from the Better Assistance in Crises (BASIC) Research programme addresses three critical accountability issues: disconnected, technocratic mechanisms; limited participation and trust between communities and aid providers; and conflicting accountability priorities.

A panel of experts drawn from research, international and country level civil society organisations and NGOs will discuss how power dynamics, stakeholder participation and trust influence accountability, reviewing challenges in feedback mechanisms, donor approaches and the risk of aid diversion, and proposing promising ways forward.

Chair

Paul Harvey, BASIC Research Co-PI.
