Ensuring humanitarian accountability: Lessons in success and failure from climate-related displaced communities in Bangladesh
26 February @ 10:30 - 11:30
In this Hum-Gov webinar, PhD Researcher Hyeonggeun Ji and AOSED Executive Director Shamim Arfeen will discuss humanitarian accountability from the perspective of climate-related displaced communities in rural Bangladesh.
They will discuss issues around corruption in emergency aid, the role of village leaders in manipulating aid resources, the problem of corruption reporting in close-knit communities, and more besides.
Within the communities studied, a surer method for ensuring accountability seems to be through direct and indirect trust-based connections between displaced people and (civic) humanitarian agencies.
The discussion will further underline the need for adopting a context-specific approach to humanitarian accountability, the role of social networks, and the specific complexities of ensuring accountability in rural Bangladesh.
The webinar will include a presentation by Hyeonggeun Ji, a reflection by Shamim Arfeen and time for a Q&A with the speakers at the end.
