The aim of humanitarian action is to address the needs and rights of people affected by armed conflict or natural disaster. This includes ensuring their safety and well-being, building on their strengths and capacities, and preventing further harm. To be effective, programmes must therefore be centred on the needs of individuals and communities. The best way to know their needs and solutions, and to design and assess programmes, is through direct dialogue with persons targeted for humanitarian action — women, girls, boys and men — and involving them in programme design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. why Is pArtIcIpAtIon ImportAnt? the active participation of people affected by crisis in identifying needs and designing and implementing relief programmes to address those needs substantially improves programme effectiveness and sustainability. pArtIcIpAtIon mAtters if people do not participate, they experience: - loss of dignity - feelings of worthlessness - feelings of powerlessness - increase in mental/psycho-social illness Decisions on who participates, how they participate and for what purpose also shapes the impact of humanitarian action. When sufficient consideration is given to these decisions, participation becomes an extremely effective tool to: genDer AnD pArtIcIpAtIon In humAnItArIAn ActIon • minimize the risk of exclusion of certain groups during the design and delivery of goods and services; • recognize the power dynamics among groups (political, social, economic, gender, etc.) with control over resources and those without; • allow for a more holistic understanding and subsequently more effective response; • enhance accuracy of needs assessment data; • help individuals and communities to identify actions to take on their own behalf; • set the foundation for greater self-sufficiency, safety and protection among individuals and communities, and more sustainable programme results in the long term; and • ensure that the participation is meaningful and effective for the individual and the humanitarian actor. Who should part c pate? Any approach should consider the categories of participants and relevance of their engagement to the humanitarian action, such as: • Individuals — women, girls, boys and men, for example through focus groups, random surveys, camp walkabouts, registration exercises; • Community at-large — for example through “representative” collectives such as elders, traditional decision-makers, teachers, health care workers, national authorities; • Local networks/organizations — such as local nongovernmental organizations, informal youth or women’s networks. These may be engaged in service delivery, human rights monitoring, community awareness or sharing issues of common interest.
