• Ensure the IASC WG membership reflect our collective commitment towards localization and facilitate participation of national actors (such as the NEAR network) to advance AAP

• Support reinforcement of AAP and PSEA responsibilities of Humanitarian Coordinators

Actions suggested by participants after the presentations of LLA, CREATE and CHS work in DRC

• Feed the learning from the 3 projects into the revision of the Sphere handbook, to ensure integration of cross-cutting themes and coherent tools for “users”.

• Be clear that: “Just because we don’t ask the question it doesn’t mean the bad thing isn’t happening, it just means we aren’t fixing it!”

• Be ready to openly discuss issues coming out from accountability mechanisms including issues of corruptions.

• Reiterate our commitments towards accountability to affected populations understanding it is a long term process not a one-off tick-the-box exercise

• Reflect on a combination of incentives / “carrots” and “sticks” at different levels (donors, management, HR) for instance ensure « responsiveness » is core in the organisation ‘s competency framework ( responsiveness within the organisation, with partners and with affected communities)

• Discuss corruption at an inter-agency level to ensure a collective approach to deal with roadblocks, issues of visas, customs blockages etc…

Update from worstream 3

On 19/10/2016 the Emergency Relief Coordinator sent a message to allHumanitarian Coordinators to share the Best Practice Guide to Establish Inter-Agency Community-Based Complaint Mechanisms and its accompanying Standard Operating Procedures

“Mr. William Swing, as IASC Champion on PSEA, and I count on your support in rolling out the Best Practice Guide and SOPs and making sure they are effectively used at field level by your PSEA Focal Points and network. “Stephen O’Brien

IOM liaison to the UNWG on PSEA

This liaison is essential indeed and is part of our task team objective 3.1 “ ensure that the IASC PSEA workstream complement other PSEA related initiatives and addressed gaps at the field and global levels”

After consultation the IASC Working Group has endorsed IOM to serve as the official liaison between the IASC and the UN Working Group on SEA in an effort to better integrate the work of both groups.
