Guidance on Grand Bargain structures: Caucuses and Communities of Practice

The Grand Bargain has several tools at Signatories disposal: caucuses which focus on the political level, on specific strategic issues in an ad hoc manner, with clear objectives and a limited timeframe, and Communities of Practice, which are necessary to ensure the Signatories have an informal space for learning and exchanging on the implementation.

As agreed in the Grand Bargain 2023-2026, a light and agile informal space can be established in the form of a Community of Practice. Following the discussion at the Ambassador and Facilitation Sherpa meeting in September 2023, a guidance was developed by the Grand Bargain Secretariat to clarify to the Signatories how to establish a Community of Practice.
