The AidAccount team holds a mid-way workshop at a time when all/most data has been collected and the process of analysing the data was ongoing. Simultaneously, the ‘humanitarian lab’ is being implemented in 2023. The aim of the workshop is to come together to discuss the analysis process and present draft papers/paper ideas, as well as discuss the implementation of the humanitarian lab in each case country. The team also benefits from a Photovoice workshop facilitated by Danesh Jayatilaka and Mohideen Alikhan
