1. Adjusting the humanitarian system: the IASC Principals Transformative Agenda
Mark Prasopa-Plaizier, Deputy Chief IASC Secretariat, and Aoibheann O'Keeffe, HAO Transformative Agenda, IASC Secretariat, will present the main aspects of the IASC Transformative Agenda.
Background
The Transformative Agenda is a set of actions agreed at the December 2012 that collectively represent 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 better facilitate delivery.
