Dear Grand Bargain Signatories,
A lot has been done in 2022 in the Grand Bargain, but there is still a long way to go before achieving all the commitments we made. At the meeting on the implementation of caucus outcomes with the Signatories in November 2022, we heard a lot of plans and actions that are being carried out on quality funding and the role of intermediaries, based on key agreed elements of the caucuses. We will share those in the next couple of days.
We are fast approaching the end of the Grand Bargain 2.0, and we are currently, all together, shaping its future. We have no time to lose to ensure we deliver results in June 2023.
We are pleased to share with you the last 2022 edition of the Grand Bargain Bimonthly newsletter, presenting an update on the achievements made in the caucus on funding for localisation and the lessons learnt, and the ways forward of the caucus on quality funding.
Nevertheless, before getting into the heart of those matters, we would like to welcome a new Signatory: the Islamic Relief, who joined the Grand Bargain in October to work together with all the humanitarian actors to ensure greater support to local humanitarian agencies and improve the participation of people from communities affected by humanitarian crises.
Finally, in line with the efforts to strengthen transparency and communication, we are glad to announce that the Grand Bargain Twitter account is now live, and that we continue to publish on the website the bi-weekly recap, to provide you with a one-stop shop for all the latest news on the Grand Bargain.
We wish you pleasant reading,
The Grand Bargain Secretariat
