HAF score card (for regular FGD + RAR):   (BASIC) (INTERMEDIATE) (MATURE) (HAF COMPLIANT) How much information you have about CARE and the project (INFORMATION SHARING) I know nothing about CARE or the project I know little about I know a lot about CARE and I have good knowledge about the project CARE and about the project including activities, plans and budgets The ways in which you have been involved in the different steps of CARE’s project (PARTICIPATION) I’m informed but not involved, CARE tells me what the project will do and how this affects me I’m consulted – CARE discusses options with me but I’m not part of the final decision made by CARE I’m involved – we sit together and take the decision together I’m leading the decision which is then implemented by CARE The way(s) in which you can provide feedback to CARE about the project (COMPLAINTS AND FEEDBACK HANDLING) I do not know how to provide feedback about CARE and do not use any complaint mechanism I know and am able to provide feedback about CARE but am not sure how CARE uses that feedback – there has been no response to my feedback I know and have used CARE’s feedback or complaint mechanism and I know that feedback has influenced some decisions taken by CARE I use CARE’s feedback mechanism regularly to influence decision making and make changes to the project September 17, 2018

Questions for discussion: How can we promote inclusive governance throughout the programming continuum (relief-development)? Models for IG: replicate, adapt, scale up? From HAF to AF and CHS: taking humanitarian accountability to scale within CARE and beyond – opportunities and challenges? Taking Organizational Accountability in Humanitarian Action beyond Humanitarians in CARE? Engaging Civil Society and Humanitarian Effectiveness: contradictions, challenges, opportunities? Gender transformative humanitarian programming: what contribution inclusive governance can make and what needs to happen to enable that contribution? September 17, 2018
