Grand Bargain Project 2017-2018
The Grand Bargain is one of the concrete initiatives announced at the WHS to improve humanitarian action, as it provides avenues for how aid financing must be more efficient. The top 30 donors and aid agencies endorsed this so-called “Grand Bargain” to make aid more efficient, including long-term, flexible and less earmarked funding from the donors, reduced overhead costs and reporting requirements, a greater use of digital funding (cash transfers) and more means flowing to local and national responders. It also commits to more coherent and “impartial” needs assessments and less competition between aid agencies. In a nutshell, the Grand Bargain tries to address some of the structural reforms that are needed in the humanitarian system through the lenses of financing.

| Contexto | Conflicts, natural disasters and disease are driving ever greater numbers of people to seek desperate remedies for their hunger, safety and survival. The world has never been so wealthy and yet on the frontline of humanitarian action, the lack of available resources to save lives is a constantly growing risk. This massive, deepening deficit requires an ambitious, global and collective response. The Grand Bargain is about harnessing the vast experience and expertise from across the humanitarian ecosystem and bringing it into realignment so that funding is better prepared for tackling the emergency needs of people. |
| Objetivos | Contribute to implement the Grand Bargain agreement between donors and agencies which sets out a shared understanding, opportunities, and common vision of how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of humanitarian aid. Signatories include the main humanitarian donors, UN organisations, major NGO networks (51 signatories to date). |
