Origin and concept of the Grand Bargain
As part of the preparations for the World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) in 2016, the High-Level Panel on Humanitarian Financing sought solutions to close the humanitarian financing gap. Their report made recommendations to shrink the needs, deepen and broaden the resource base for humanitarian action, and to improve delivery.
Since the beginning of the cluster approach in 2005, Global Cluster Coordinators (GCCs) have met (convened by OCHA) to work together on areas of common concern and to share information. The Global Cluster Coordinator’s Group (GCCG) has never been an official IASC subsidiary body and has never had a formal Terms of Reference (TORs) or work plan, so meetings have tended to be held on an ad hoc basis and the group’s relationship with other bodies, as well as its membership, have been fluid.
Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) is a cross-cutting focus of the IASC and its supporting structures, and a standing agenda item at every IASC meeting. The below tools and documents are key resources to support you to incorporate PSEA into your work.
Below are the lists of the individual and organisation membership of all five of the IASC Results Groups. Since these copies are only periodically updated, contact the IASC secretariat or the relevant Results Group co-Chairs for the latest details on the participation in each group.
Please see below the roadmap drafted by the Eminent Person's office, the Grand Bargain Facilitation Group and the Grand Bargain Secretariat to visualize the identified collective and individual action points from the Annual Meeting in June 2019 in Geneva (collective action points are available in the Outcome document). This roadmap attemps to compile and visualize existing Annual Meeting 2019 action points, the Grand Bargain commitments, and the indicators agreed in 2018.
As we start our tenure as the Facilitation Group 2019-2020, we wanted to share with you some of our upcoming plans and priorities for our collective efforts for a more efficient and effective humanitarian system. First of all, we would like to inform you that the deadline for the submission of self-reports will be 14 February 2020. We will communicate the details as soon as they are available.

The development of a Joint Intersectoral Analysis Framework (JIAF) is one of the key activities of the Grand Bargain on Needs Assessments (GBNA). The JIAF aims at contributing to the achievement of several of the GBNA commitments, particularly the commitment of conducting a holistic and intersectoral analysis of people’s needs, the causes of these needs and their severity, vulnerability, capacities and risks.
UNHCR hosted and organized the webinar ‘What is the UN Business Innovations Group (BIG) in the Grand Bargain to reduce management cost?’ on November 26th, 2019.
