2.1.2 Phase 2: Partners, Beneficiaries and Diversion
| Recommended Actions | Minimum Questions |
| Review tensions in area and deepen conflict analysis | • Is it getting better, worse or staying the same?
• Are the triggers or causes linked to aid? |
| Check to see how partners and staff are viewed by beneficiary population | • Are the partners perceived as neutral, impartial and driven by the humanitarian imperative by the local population?
• Can we verify if they are abiding by code of conduct? |
| Check who is selecting beneficiaries to ensure the body is representative and legitimate | • Does the body represent the diversity of the local population and target population?
• Is it respected and viewed as transparent? |
| Check that the selection criteria and process is sensitive to the conflict | • Have the criteria favoured one group more than another, and does this overlap with conflict divisions?
• Can non-beneficiaries complain? |
| Check the distribution method has been assessed for conflict and GBV risks? | • Will the distribution method expose beneficiaries especially women to risk of attack, robbery, discrimination or abuse? |
| Brainstorm ways to prevent aid diversion, document. | • How might our aid end up in the control of armed groups?
• How can we limit this risk? |
| Link and share information with peer agencies | • Are we engaging in protection cluster/ host community working groups? |
