The key objective of the initial deployment was to: Provide technical leadership and support on AAP programming and approach to the Humanitarian and Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator, cluster leads and HCT members to fulfil their commitments as articulated in the IASC CAAP through close collaboration with humanitarian actors and building on existing resources.
The broad plan of approach was outlined as follows:
- Establish liaison and information access between relevant networks,
- Make an assessment of the highest priority accountability issues of the response and the most effective and strategic means to address those,
- Begin offering immediate consultation and support,
- Propose the scope of further capacity, and, provide a handover
