Brazil commits to invest in the capacity of frontline responders by investing in the ability of front-line responding actors to play a leading role in crisis anticipation, response and recovery, including by: i) creating incentives for international actors to work in strategic partnerships with local and national civil society organizations that build the long-term organizational and responsive capacity; ii) providing front-line responders with fair and realistic levels of overhead costs in funding awards; iii) supporting the development of national and regional networks of front-line responders and other related capacity-strengthening initiatives including national and regional research and training centres.

Brazil commits to contribute to a reconfiguration of the international humanitarian financing system to allow critical front-line responders to access adequate, timely and quality funding on a fair basis by i) empowering national NGOs to play a central role in programming and delivering principled and coordinated humanitarian assistance; ii) reducing barriers to accessing funding by simplifying and harmonizing partner capacity assessments and application and reporting requirements; iii) ensuring front-line responders are included in collective coordination platforms and response processes have a seat at the table in collective response processes, thereby promoting stronger partnerships and increased direct access of local and national front-line responding NGOs to humanitarian funding; iv) enabling funding from non-traditional sources such as from faith-based funds to play a significant role in making funds available to local organizations that form the frontline of humanitarian response yet which are often unable to directly access funds.
