The document provides a self-assessment for an organization to rate their performance on Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) across the different phases of the Humanitarian Project Cycle (HPC). The phases include Needs Assessments, Preparedness, Response Design, Implementation, and Monitoring and Evaluation. For each phase, 3-4 questions are provided for the organization to assign a rating from 0-5 on how well they incorporate community consultation and AAP practices.
