Missed Opportunities Nepal
Five UK development and Humanitarian agencies: Action Aid, Christian Aid, CAFOD, Oxfam GB and Tearfund have been collaborating since 2012 to research our experiences of Partnership working in humanitarian responses and to develop policy and advocacy positions to promote partnerships approaches throughout international and humanitarian systems. This fourth piece of research will build on the previous body of evidence and contribute towards the drive towards localisation by: Conducting an in-depth study of the Nepal earthquake response to explore how the humanitarian system can move towards a more collaborative approach between national and international humanitarian organisations in an acute fast-onset crisis. This is based on the assumption that the expectations of national governments will increasingly be to ensure that the humanitarian response is locally-led and of high quality, as it was in Nepal; this is indicative of the new norm within the humanitarian sector. This research will also consider how best to contribute to the development of preparedness measures (potentially through a preparedness agreement, or other framework) with an increased role for national and local organisations in Nepal and other countries.
