The [Good Enough Guide] training has improved my understanding of essential elements of accountability and precisely the need to involve the community at every stage of the project. It enabled me to plan effectively with other development partners especially in the IDP camps and also during the meetings."

Accountability and Impact Measurement
Through the ECB Accountability and Impact Measurement theme, the six agencies are working to ensure that their commitments to hold themselves accountable to communities affected by emergencies translate into changed practice in the field. This focus is inspired by the “good enough” approach: doing what is safe, essential, quick and simple in complex emergency situations, to ensure that staff take some initial, practical steps towards accountability to disaster-affected people.
The NEW Accountability - Good Enough Guide wesbite will enable you to learn more about Accountability and download some valuable communication tools including posters, films and leaflets that will support communities, field-based staff, trainers and country managers.

In ECB Phase II, we continue to field test, develop and refine tools and knowledge products, particularly through the five ECB consortia in Bolivia, Bangladesh, the Horn of Africa, Indonesia and Niger. The Joint Needs Assessment database is currently under review in Indonesia. Joint concept notes and proposals, including Impact Measurement focused initiatives, are currently under development by our AIM Advisory Group.
