Monitoring, accountability and evaluation in disaster interventions
It was a great course to talk with us about how we can use organizational processes and practices outside of disaster intervention organizations to improve intervention.
The course asks us to look at the organizations involved and the people working in them, and how they can provide effective, professional interventions to consider disaster interventions in disaster risk reduction and humanitarian situations. That's a great way to do it, not bad.

2020 has been an extraordinary year, with COVID-19 and all the riots that have made me feel that the need to assess accountability and its importance to disaster management has been really well presented.
