Published on 25 April 2012
The long-planned first deployments of the ECB Project’s Accountability and Impact Measurement (AIM) Standing Team are now underway. The inter-agency AIM Standing Team supports improved accountability practices across ECB agencies, through deployments in emergency-affected areas. The deployments are designed to build capacity, enhance collaboration and facilitate learning between multiple NGO partners.
Standing Team members from CARE UK and Mercy Corps are currently in Bolivia preparing for a workshop this week that will bring together members of the ECB consortia agencies, United Nations agencies and other actors in the field to discuss how to better incorporate the principles of accountability and impact measurement into their work.
In Bangladesh, AIM experts from Mercy Corps and World Vision will be deployed until May 6 in order to assess and document current practices in accountability and impact measurement, and to then advise and assist consortium agencies on improving and developing their practices accordingly.
During their deployments both teams will be using and providing feedback on the new Standing Team Toolkit. Updates on the progress of the deployments can be found on the AIM Standing Team blog.
