Inter-Agency Real Time Evaluation of the Humanitarian ... - alnap

IA RTE of the humanitarian response to Pakistan’s 2010 Floods crisis
g) NDMA, with OCHA, should ensure the roll‐out of the newly developed Single Reporting
Format in the current and future disasters.
h) NDMA, with EAD and IASC representatives, define integrated results based monitoring
framework for future emergencies (aligned with single reporting format) which includes:
� measurable progress indicators
� outcome indicators
� level of expenditures
� 4 W’s (who, what, where and when)
III) The Special Envoy and HC/RC with OCHA should promote humanitarian diplomacy to
guarantee needs based and principled approaches during humanitarian responses and all
Humanitarian actors need to commit to it. To do so:
i) The HC and HCT must be in a position to prioritize and lead the humanitarian response
above individual agencies interests.
j) HC/RC, with OCHA, will ensure HCT alignment on guidelines for use of military assets in
future emergencies (only as providers of last resort).
IV) Overall funding for the current disaster has been insufficient particularly for recovery
assistance and many local organisations have had difficulties in assessing funds. Therefore; in
future crisis:
k) HCT, in consultation with GoP and donors, should define ways to ensure that funding for
existing emergency appeals is not undermined by any new emergency appeal.
l) OCHA with Clusters need to build the capacity of implementing partners to ensure they
can effectively access funding, especially ERF.
VI) At global level, cluster approached need to be adapted to host countries’ capacities and
structures as well as to the specific scale of disaster
m) IASC Working Group must ensure that guidelines on roll‐out of clusters are adapted to
contextual realities (i.e. size of disaster, strength of national capacities, cross cutting
issues and civil‐ and military response mechanisms and funding) and flexible to be
aligned with host governments’ priorities and existing institutions.
VII) There is a need to strengthen leadership of clusters. Cluster lead agencies should appoint
skilled, experienced, independent/dedicated full‐time cluster leads. To mobilise qualified human
resources:
