Last week, #ACBAR held a two-day workshop on Accountability to Affected People (AAP) and Community Engagement in Kandahar. It was attended by about 40 participants from NGO members, coming together to discuss and share opinions on this cross-cutting and important topic. Moreover, the workshop’s objectives were to improve coordination of community involvement initiatives throughout the response, and to raise awareness of collaborative AAP techniques. Further, it served as a reminder of the humanitarian community's dedication to elevating AAP to the top of the relief distribution chain, benefitting the people of Afghanistan. #Effective_NGOs #Stronger_Communities #NGOs_in_Afghanistan #Coordination_Body #Humanitarian_Work

Today, #ACBAR organized an orientation session for its member NGOs’ new joiners who were on-boarded over the past few months. The session covered basic outlines of ACBAR’s operations, specific information on each department’s objectives, way of work and how that would relate to the respective NGOs’ vision. Further, the session delved into what member NGOs should expect of ACBAR, the perceived two-way conversation and who, from ACBAR, to reach out to for different matters. ACBAR highly values the trust-based relation it has with all its members and always strives to strengthen that.  #EffectiveNGOs #StrongerCommunities #NGOsinAfghanistan #CoordinationBody #HumanitarianWork
