NGOs and Humanitarian Reform Project
Since the beginning of the UN-led humanitarian reform process, there have been several suggestions about the need to better involve NGOs – particularly national and local NGOs – in the various aspects of reform. A three-year project started in September 2008 (currently funded by DfID) to increase the effective engagement of international, national, and local NGOs in humanitarian reform (clusters, humanitarian financing, and Humanitarian Coordinator strengthening).
The project places a particular emphasis on catalyzing NGO engagement in humanitarian reform processes. The focus will be on clusters; innovation and lesson-learning related to NGO engagement in humanitarian coordination and financing mechanisms; and promoting effective means to represent the views of crisis-affected populations through evidence-based advocacy, a focus on downwards accountability, and improving the impact of humanitarian action.
The project is being run by a consortium of seven NGOs: ActionAid (as lead agency), CARE International UK, CAFOD, International Rescue Committee, ICVA, Oxfam, and Save the Children UK.
Listed below is contact information for the project's Humanitarian Reform Officers (HROs):
