Abstract

This paper analyses the drivers and inhibitors behind efforts to promoted participation and accountability to affected people in humanitarian action. It starts by building a scenario of what humanitarian action would look like if current reform proposals for example on the “participation revolution” were fully implemented. It analyses the effects of this shift and how they would affect the interests and incentives of key actors in the humanitarian system. In doing so, the paper sheds light on the limits and dilemmas of participation and accountability and helps to understand the driving forces behind the current reform effort.
