3. Why do we monitor? To provide humanitarian actors with the evidence for making decisions about what actions should be taken to redress shortcomings, fill gaps and/or adjust the SRP, contributing to a more effective and efficient response To improve the accountability of the humanitarian community for the achievement of results towards affected people, national authorities, donors and the general public
