Dissecting Accountability in the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPMS) Guidelines:An in-depth look into the CPMS’s guidance on Accountability of Children from thecase study of Cyclone Mocha in MyanmarNordlander Boongullaya, Darine January 2024 (has links)
All humanitarian actors should be accountable to children. In May 2023, Cyclone Mocha ripped through Myanmar, affecting over 3 million people with more than 90 percent of children facing overlapping climate and emergency crisis. Efforts to enhance accountability to children in humanitarian action are urgently needed now more than ever. Despite the highly discussed topic of accountability, there is still little research on accountability of child protection in the humanitarian context. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to dissect the concept of accountability from the Child Protection Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Action (CPMS) guidelines and identify how it can be used to guide accountability to children in Myanmar. From analyzing the case study of Cyclone Mocha, the research found that the CPMS tools can be used to guide accountability to the child protection interventions in four main themes: participation, cross-sector collaboration and programming, evaluation and reporting, and feedback and response mechanisms. The study concluded that the CPMS guidance notes can influence accountability in Myanmar by providing more weight on informal social accountability mechanisms and leveling out the formal upward accountability currently dominating in the child protection intervention systems.
