The Listen and Learn Project: Improving Aid Accountability in Haiti

The Listen and Learn project, a joint DARA/Keystone initiative funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, aimed to improve the accountability of aid efforts in Haiti and provide a model for greater beneficiary accountability in relief and recovery programming. The project highlights the need for beneficiary accountability as an integral part of programming and a donor requirement, effective beneficiary feedback mechanisms, a culture of adaptation and flexibility, and feedback as a key component of monitoring and evaluation.
