Who is HAP accountable to?
As a Swiss association, HAP is formally accountable to its General Assembly, consisting of members and associate members. More particularly, the Secretariat is accountable to the Board appointed by General Assembly. HAP is not a “humanitarian claimants union”, and it does not pretend that it “represents” the intended beneficiaries of humanitarian action. However, through its complaints-handling mechanism, through the independent members of the HAP Board, and through the full members of HAP, the Partnership is also indirectly accountable to disaster-affected people.
