IASC Weekly (NY) - Debriefing on the Transformative Agenda
New York
The Transformative Agenda is a set of actions agreed by the IASC Principals in December 2011 to bring a substantive improvement to the current humanitarian response model. These include: a mechanism to deploy strong, experienced senior humanitarian leadership to guide the humanitarian response from the outset of a major crisis; the strengthening of leadership capacities and rapid deployment of humanitarian leaders at various levels, to ensure the coordination architecture functions well; improved strategic planning at the country level that clarifies the collective results that the humanitarian community sets out to achieve and identifies how clusters and organizations will contribute to them; enhanced accountability of the Humanitarian Coordinator and members of the Humanitarian Country Team for the achievement of collective results; and streamlined coordination mechanisms adapted to operational requirements and contexts to facilitate delivery.
