    The Agenda for Humanity is a five-point plan to prevent and reduce human suffering during crises.

    Through its 5 core responsibilities and 24 transformations, the Agenda for Humanity set out a vision and a roadmap for how the humanitarian system can reduce humanitarian need, risk and vulnerability for the 130 million people affected by humanitarian crises yearly and for the millions more people at risk.

    Each core responsibility is underpinned by a number of strategic and normative transformations which outline the actions that are necessary in order to make the responsibilities a reality. Together, the core responsibilities and transformations form a framework for action, change and mutual accountability, against which we can collectively assess and review progress in the years to come

    Q3. Reflecting on your own commitments, what do you consider to be the transformation where you advanced the least/faced the most challenges? why? If appropriate, feel free to select the top 3 challenges from the list that best complement/summarise your response.

    5E - Diversify the resource base and increase cost-efficiency

    The Agenda for Humanity Platform for Action, Commitments and Transformations (PACT) was created as a dynamic advocacy and implementation tool for all stakeholders in their efforts to advance the Agenda for Humanity.

    The PACT displays the commitments to deliver on the Agenda for Humanity’s 5 Core Responsibilities and 24 Transformations, and allows stakeholders to voluntarily self-report on their progress on an annual basis.

    The PACT also serves as an information hub where stakeholders can learn more about the Agenda for Humanity and many of the major initiatives.

    1. Funding amounts
    2. Institutional/Internal constraints
    3. Multi-stakeholder coordination
    Q4. To what extent did the outcomes of the World Humanitarian Summit and the call to action under the Agenda for Humanity have an impact on your organization"s strategic agenda/priorities?

    The Report of the Secretary-General on the outcomes of the World Humanitarian Summit (A/71/353) established the online Platform for Actions, Commitments and Transformations (PACT)[1] for a period of three to five years. 2019 – the third year of reporting since the Summit – was the final year of self-reporting and the 2019 Annual Synthesis Report became the final report in the ‘series’.  No further reporting on commitments made during the Summit is expected. Stakeholders who made commitments under the Agenda for Humanity will receive a dedicated communication. The PACT will continue to be public as an online archive all the data

     

    Q5. Did you actively participate in and/or report on any of the World Humanitarian Summit initiatives? Please select from the list below.

    Main findings of the 2019 Annual Synthesis Report

    In the third and final year of reporting since the World Humanitarian Summit (2016), 117 stakeholders informed on their efforts to advance the Agenda for Humanity between January-December 2018. Sustaining the Ambition - Delivering Change, the Agenda for Humanity Annual Synthesis Report 2019, provides a synopsis of collective achievements and challenges. Looking at progress in 2018 and comparing it to work done since the Summit, the report found progress in shifting to a culture of conflict prevention, integrating gender in all aspects of programming, and that more national and local organizations are being represented in coordination processes. There are strengthened efforts to make humanitarian action more inclusive as well as increasing humanitarian-development-peace collaboration. But there are persistent challenges: local and national partners still struggle to access funds and risk aversion prevents greater investment in preparedness. There is also a gap between normative commitments and their application in the field. ddddddddddd ddddddddddddddd dddddddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddddddd ddd ddd ddd

    Q4. Thinking about the Agenda for Humanity as a whole, please select up to 3 challenges that hindered implementation the most:
