Malaysian humanitarian relief Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) has risen to another platform to be world-recognised agencies. The humanitarian NGOs receive millions ringgit donations from the financial donors for distribution to the refugee and vulnerable community. With huge amount of money received and trust given by the public, the NGOs have to account for their actions to the upward-downward parties.

Thus, the aims of the research are to explain the social actions undertaken by the humanitarian relief mission NGO to discharge the social accountability to the community, to analyse the performance measurement indicator in deliberating the community’s engagement within the humanitarian relief mission and to conceptualise social accountability model for the humanitarian relief mission. The grounded theory is employed in explaining the human agency’s actions through social constructionist position within the humanitarian relief NGOs, through a series of in-depth interviews, memos, documentary reviews and observations. This methodological foundation considers how social phenomena or objects of consciousness develop in social contexts by understanding of human’s actions. The paper reveals the underpinning social engagement and values articulated by the humanitarian relief agencies and in-depth understand of social accountability for humanitarian relief mission, particularly the aid deployment in the Islamic region.
