ALNAP (Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance) is a sector-wide network in the international humanitarian system made up of key international humanitarian organisations and experts. Established in 1997 following the multi-agency evaluation of the humanitarian response to the Rwandan genocide, ALNAP provides the humanitarian sector with a forum to address issues of accountability and learning, as well as producing research and analysis of shared challenges facing the humanitarian sector.

Past Activities

The Tsunami Evaluation Coalition (TEC)[1] was a unique learning and accountability initiative established in February 2005 to carry out joint evaluations of the response to the Asian earthquake and tsunamis of 26 December 2004. The TEC was hosted by ALNAP and the ALNAP secretariat was responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the project.

In July 2011, ALNAP took part in a move to strengthen its collaboration with three other quality and accountability initiatives in a review their effectiveness and impact. The other organisations involved were The Sphere Project, Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP) International, and People In Aid.
