A commitment to Accountability to Affected People underline the commitments, and can be leveraged to build common approaches to AAP amongst partners The Principles of Partnership help define the ideal culture for cluster coordination. These same principles can apply to our relationships with vulnerable and affected communities. The partner commitments and principles should be reflected in the accountability framework for clusters
