Synthesis Report: Review of the engagement of NGOs with the humanitarian reform process. (892 kB)
Based on 5 country mapping studies, this report analyses the state of global humanitarian reform efforts from an NGO perspective. It finds significant progress in humanitarian financing, with the creation of the global Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and at the country level the Common Humanitarian Funds, the Emergency response Funds and Humanitarian response Funds. Improvements were also found as a result of the introduction of the cluster approach. Accountability to crisis affected populations was patchy and improvements in humanitarian leadership was particularly weak. The biggest gap was identified as the marginalisation of national NGOs from a process which was originally conceived by and focused on the international community.
