The Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) has published a paper titled "Broadening the Concept of Humanitarian Accountability." The paper examines the concept of humanitarian accountability and proposes ways to broaden it. The authors argue that current definitions of humanitarian accountability are too narrow and do not adequately address the complex challenges faced by humanitarian actors. They suggest that a broader concept of accountability should include a focus on power dynamics, the impact of aid on local communities, and the need for greater transparency and participation from affected populations. The paper also discusses the importance of involving local actors in the humanitarian response and the need for greater collaboration between humanitarian agencies and local communities. Overall, the paper provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities for improving humanitarian accountability.
