7 Next Steps
The next steps are for:
- Organisations to implement these recommendations in their individual programmes.
- Organisations to look for areas where they can work in bilateral / multilateral partnerships to
implement recommendations.
Discussions took place on how to carry the work forward and ensure that organisations can learn from
each others on the implementation of the recommendations, progress made and progress on
methodologies and processes.
A small committee composed of SCUK, OXFAM, OCHA, ANLP, FAO and WFP was set up to start
discussions to identify an approach by which lessons learnt can be shared. The following tasks have been
suggested:
• Identify and set up groups by thematic areas.
• Prepare Terms of Reference for the convenor on each thematic area.
• Terms of reference to include:
- Identification if networks already exist for each thematic area
- Identification of members
- Identification of relevant technological support to share information if needed (but
note that the groups should not be ‘tool driven’)
- Consideration of what might motivate people to contribute to, and use, groups.
WFP agreed to act as the ‘convenor of last resort’ if no other agency stepped forward.
The committee met in the week following the workshop. The NFR of the first conference call is attached in
annex 4.
