Afghanistan: Humanitarian Country Team Compact, 27 July 2019

INTRODUCTION

This document is intended to serve as a framework for the accountability of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) in Afghanistan in addressing needs arising from decades of conflict, natural disaster and chronic under-investment in development. Drawing from the HCT's Terms of Reference, it sets out the key commitments of HCT members towards the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) and towards one another, enhancing mutual accountability and reinforcing collective accountability to people in need of humanitarian assistance and protection. It also supports the accountability of the HC to the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC), as set out in her/his HC Compact, recognising that effectiveness in this regard depends on successful implementation of the recommendations of the Peer-to-Peer Mission and other evaluations to ensure a well-functioning and committed HCT. Each individual HCT member has distinct contributions to make under each of the headings below.
