1.4 Accountability and Quality Approach ''AQA''
Building a monitoring system integrating quality as a primary consideration

“The AQA initiative is a collaborative effort to equip the WASH sector with monitoring tools and approaches to improve accountability and quality in humanitarian WASH responses.
 
Instituting AQA systems involves:
  • Defining sector level indicators based on global standards and contextualized locally
  • Measuring against these indicators and communicating data through Quality Snapshots
  • Adapting the WASH response based on data through corrective actions by WASH partners
  • Learning how the process is improving quality and accountability
 
The AQA initiative is led globally by Solidarités International and Oxfam and supported by ECHO to establish AQA systems with National Humanitarian WASH Coordination Platforms.
 
For more information, see the AQA page on the Cluster Toolkit. The AQA Guidance Note and Modular Analytical Framework documents are available to download here in Arabic, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish.”
