Learning stream on humanitarian coordination: the IASC and the global humanitarian coordination architecture

What are the humanitarian coordination mechanisms at country and regional levels? In the second online session of the learning stream on humanitarian coordination, jointly organised by PHAP and ICVA, guest experts will explore the coordination mechanisms available at country level and the existing regional structures.

The session will explore the function of various country-level humanitarian coordination structures and actors, including the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) role, the Humanitarian Country Teams (HCTs), and the cluster approach at national and sub-national levels, highlighting the strengths and limitations of these structures.

Participants will be provided with recommendations on how NGOs can better engage in these coordination mechanisms, and will also have an opportunity to ask questions.
