Strengthening the Humanitarian Coordination System

Main tenets Humanitarian Coordination strengthening is one of the three pillars of Humanitarian Reform. The objective is to strengthen the humanitarian coordination function, whether it is performed by HCs or RCs. Humanitarian Coordination strengthening is the collective responsibility of all humanitarian actors. This includes not only the UN family, but the entire humanitarian community (UN, NGOs, Red Cross Movement). The project does not seek to create a parallel HC system, but rather to mainstream as much as possible within the RC system.

The IASC HC Group The governance mechanism for HC strengthening is the IASC HC Group, a sub-group of the IASC. The IASC is the principal forum of the humanitarian community, representing its three main families (UN, Red Cross, NGOs). The Group steers the work of the small OCHA secretariat working on HC strengthening. In September 2007 the IASC HC Group adopted a Workplan, which is now being implemented. The workplan has 5 components: Policy Development, HC Pool Development, Leadership Development, Knowledge Management, and Support.

Policy Development The objective of this component is to reach consensus among humanitarian stakeholders on key normative issues relating to humanitarian coordination. This year we will revise the HC Terms of Reference. We will align them as much as possible with the revised RC TOR.

HC Pool Development The objective of this component is to expand the pool of potential HCs. An HC Pool was first established in Five of its members have been deployed to RC/HC positions in Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Iraq, Tajikistan and Uganda (later withdrawn). New pool members will be drawn from among current HCs, current RCs, and from the humanitarian community at large. They will be selected by an inter-agency, IASC panel according to stringent, transparent and agreed criteria. All the selected individuals will be required to pass the Resident Coordinator Assessment Centre. Individualised professional development programs will be developed for them.

Leadership Development The objective of this component is to enhance the knowledge and skills on humanitarian coordination of serving RCs and HCs. We are conducting regional workshops for RCs on humanitarian coordination. We are developing a pilot workshop for RCs and HCs on using international and national legal frameworks with respect to human rights and humanitarian law when working with governments. We are developing a mentoring system for newly- appointed HCs. We are working with DGO on the induction of new RCs.

Knowledge Management The objective of this component is to ensure that information and knowledge on humanitarian coordination seamlessly circulate among RCs and HCs. We are working on a Handbook for RCs on humanitarian coordination.

Support to HCs and to RCs on humanitarian coordination The objective of this component is to ensure that RCs and HCs receive the support they require to perform their humanitarian coordination functions. This includes ensuring that OCHA Headquarters and Field Offices provide RCs and HCs with appropriate guidance and support with regard to policy, advocacy and coordination.
