chris telling kong then so so it with the focus we have no on
00:00:05
okay so it's clearly we're we're hearing about single contracts ninety same
00:00:09
ratio and efficiency how do we ensure the involvement of local
00:00:13
actors to reach the and oh another grandpa goal of twenty five
00:00:18
percent of the funding going to local and national actors
00:00:26
i thank you all sit there is no no okay i uh exclude from belief international my question
00:00:37
was are and uh it was to the food and uh i'm a popsicle as well
00:00:42
uh uh you you mentioned that you choose a intimate department based on comparative advantage and value for money
00:00:48
and you know i do agree that that's the approach that we should go to 'cause the sector
00:00:53
and when it comes to the you know you mentioned that that might be
00:00:56
the private sector but how what have what how would you define
00:01:01
value for money or what would what would you look for in terms of value for money in that respect because cost dimensions when i was
00:01:07
on the on of course is obviously one thing but it doesn't really determined value that's you know more of the the money is
00:01:16
yes i know that woody from a constituent your thoughts you know uh we
00:01:21
spoken a lot about effectiveness about asks each about a efficiencies this is
00:01:27
fifty now of a cash cash answer programming i'd like to challenge a bit i speak
00:01:32
about ethics and principles uh so my question for you from the donors perspective
00:01:38
what advantage does the private sector has over n. g.
00:01:42
o.s and that the classical actors and uh
00:01:45
and the sector and julia many chains principles still play a role in this new equation
00:01:50
and the second question is what kind of guarantee his criteria are
00:01:54
vetting process would you don't as asked from the private sector's
00:01:59
to justify a ah that he i still protecting the fundamental principles
00:02:03
that protect our mandate our work in our mission thank you
00:02:10
my my question one b. s. has that one yeah yeah so i i married
00:02:14
they say here that there is an more interest for funding more cash programming
00:02:19
and but if we take a page from the private sector changing
00:02:24
that business not oh requires investment so if we don't put
00:02:28
money into it we will never manage to like cheese essays nick
00:02:31
change that we're planning to achieve so my question is
00:02:35
and when you're thinking of allocation of resources and the
00:02:39
efficiency ratios and all that the considerations how are you planning to resource that change that you want to see
00:02:48
so working yep them so lost
00:02:53
yeah i'm just sort of one sort of a a flag first which is the
00:02:57
the capacity um okay some analysis pieces incredibly
00:03:01
weak across lots lots of sectors them
00:03:04
and the for for us to make informed decisions are unhealthy
00:03:08
sketchy because of them but uh what about that
00:03:12
humanity rips in shelter plus the um but my question is that a lot of the discussion on it
00:03:19
has been touch from below the discussion is sort of putting 'em all what about giving but it's getting money all giving
00:03:26
items well actually a lot to the the real benefits come
00:03:29
from the plus and so my question to you is
00:03:34
given that we need to this past effected um and you
00:03:39
want to change the world the delivery efficiency fantastic
00:03:41
fully agree that there's there's a lot that can be done it over when you look at that
00:03:47
um oh discussion around a competition uh else all seen cost efficiency
00:03:53
within public service is a lot of countries as maybe
00:03:56
the the quality of service is actually going down because of
00:03:59
the these element of competition you know lowering caustic searcher
00:04:03
hello in there um landscape how do we then ensure that the plus is well funded
00:04:09
even if that plus is expensive and how do we start having the discussion of
00:04:14
if we talk about percentages of overheads percentages money how much
00:04:18
is all right for that last calls healthy mitchell
00:04:22
the plus is the bit that has the impact has uh uh the l. comes that we want to thank you uh a
00:04:31
uh_huh
00:04:36
yeah
00:04:39
then some ah courtney sent that underlie has to go to the airport and uh
00:04:44
i wanted to give you an opportunity to respond very fast before
00:04:48
she leaves a so well thank you and uh um
00:04:55
a very very quickly is straight jacket up the talk the talk it i'm not
00:05:00
dead or alive we have to get yeah it's way we wanna go
00:05:05
so um there is flexibility and there is also reality
00:05:10
or whether or not in a particular situation
00:05:13
we can do and go to catch already indicated that it says situations out of
00:05:18
the question zero it's not gonna be it would be a good time
00:05:23
and local partners i don't really have a very good answer
00:05:27
for you but that is something that we're actually
00:05:30
looking into uh also from because side because i i am very much where we have
00:05:35
to do much better for that but um right now i don't have a
00:05:40
um i meant a very good answer value for money again eight one of the aspects that we
00:05:47
look at it and i i maybe i i said it's and many times that the contact
00:05:54
medium people really but quality also like this and it's uh
00:05:59
i actually i'm focused on that in my presentation
00:06:03
when we were looking at the guidance we we hoped to
00:06:08
be able to say that in in re big
00:06:11
a cash transfers we we would like to see that ninety percent of the farms actually get to
00:06:16
the individuals so so that you get to the when the fish is this is not on
00:06:21
but that does not mean that we're going to sacrifice
00:06:25
meaningful interventions in order to get to that
00:06:29
that's way ideally uh we want we want to um to be
00:06:34
any situation allows it that's what we would like to see
00:06:38
um
00:06:41
ethics and international humanitarian law and the the
00:06:46
involvement of the uh private sector
00:06:49
i think the one of the things that came out very loud and clear out
00:06:53
of the work humanitarian some it was that it is not no longer possible
00:06:59
just for the uh traditional dollars to convert the humanitarian meat and
00:07:04
and and and making it possible for others to camille including the
00:07:08
private sector was one of the objectives uh um so um
00:07:15
the private sector is not by definition that h. b. which is
00:07:21
which obviously i think was the angle of the question however
00:07:26
when we humanitarian double rows and no finance through
00:07:31
the private sector we should absolutely uh
00:07:35
call sign that that international humanitarian law in how we how do we do that is thirty two
00:07:42
so i don't see any international humanitarian law will be challenged by the fact that
00:07:48
the plus of pressing the button for the transfer of the fall of the of the finals select
00:07:53
save my g. f. m. is not a new agency and it's a private telecoms operator
00:08:00
um
00:08:03
changing the business model requires investment i was just in uganda seven
00:08:07
mentioned three four days ago when the refugees are registered
00:08:12
they giving a bank account even though they may not get cash plants
00:08:18
why are they giving a bank account because the uh one of
00:08:22
the banks there has a has a very good registration system
00:08:26
yeah baby have huh and this to that having and financial inclusive video
00:08:33
all of these new refugees come you potentially is a market for
00:08:38
whether or not they they use it for huh those that use those
00:08:43
bank account it doesn't matter big given those bank accounts will zero
00:08:47
so it's not always business models change we've asked pain for it
00:08:52
but uh if this is like i can't find that
00:08:57
potentially it's good for the yeah for the business if they're more open minded with respect to the movie
00:09:03
um
00:09:07
the
00:09:08
and i just want to finish it damn way but that because that was also but
00:09:12
giving what effect is with the compaq specifically we just pick three cases stuff sedan
00:09:19
how can we do uh i mean we we did this thing eighteen
00:09:22
in kind in situations way or even actual people sometimes so
00:09:27
we can't do that somalia we heard the panels o'malley some ideas different international and
00:09:35
agency different ambition and use 'em agencies have access to different i
00:09:39
what are we gonna tell them you will have to come together and into a
00:09:44
big contract and then deliver would not the situation on the ground is not
00:09:49
does not allow us to do effective humanity when difficult and so we
00:09:53
look at the context so in all of these things it's not
00:09:59
cash you know ah you know under at all cost it's not
00:10:04
cash against your international humanitarian law it's not cash again
00:10:09
all the other things that we have so much debated and put
00:10:12
in place or something yes but if the situation allows it
00:10:17
we would like to see efficiencies increased we would like to see this nineteen chairman a ah
00:10:24
yeah a ratio of delivery
00:10:27
uh and this is where we want to follow if the situation
00:10:32
thanks very much an excuse me i have to catch a flight my colleague can uh take any other questions
00:10:41
thank you and uh thank you for the time
00:10:44
ah ah understand you'd like to respond
00:10:52
oh
00:10:57
sure i mean
00:11:05
uh_huh
00:11:06
alright uh show them use frozen a polo please uh if well
00:11:15
i think a lot of the questions were interesting i
00:11:20
so
00:11:24
finally i mean
00:11:26
yes we can you proceed
00:11:30
oh okay
00:11:32
are you it's all very much
00:11:36
a lot of
00:11:56
okay
00:11:58
i will proceed
00:12:01
i think we don't
00:12:03
rather than a bit away also go ahead yeah our and saying thumbs up a member
00:12:10
um so uh i i would i would totally agree with what andrew was
00:12:16
the um on there's no inherent reason why business and ball and
00:12:20
uh yeah and in just a lover isn't inconsistent with
00:12:24
friends or response i think you'd easy watched carefully
00:12:27
uh and masterfully but this potentially towns are all else well
00:12:32
but in of all true but of all un agencies uh and the n. g. o.s
00:12:38
um in the end uh an oversight technical advisory as opposed to
00:12:42
as opposed to deliver essentially again i don't know if
00:12:45
that's the exact way things work and outbreak those are the sorts of questions that we need to be posing
00:12:50
um and it's important that we keep our eye on the ball when it
00:12:54
comes to humanitarian principles as we engage new actors in this who are
00:12:59
steeped again the sort of traditions on the sword was
00:13:02
working the the uh the we're used to um
00:13:07
on the the the point on market analysis that's extremely important why you know
00:13:12
i would totally agree that it's very we across many seconds right
00:13:15
now and this is something that when i was a u. s. a. i. d. we were quite oh record sees with the site
00:13:21
that to do cash effectively to do any kind of program effective way that interacts with the economy you
00:13:27
need to have good market analysis not economic analysis
00:13:30
and that's not something that i think traditionally
00:13:35
humanitarian actors have invested in um w. p. does some of that
00:13:39
um and the world bank is quite good at that
00:13:42
beyond that you know most most actors most angelos
00:13:47
it's it's a mixed bag things like the emergency mark a um
00:13:52
market mapping assessment tool the i'm a tool is very important um
00:13:57
yeah it's tended to sit with uh no i wouldn't sector not necessarily another stuff and so we we do need to really
00:14:03
oh our game enhance our capacity you as a as a as
00:14:07
a system on market analysis else's tools yells out because
00:14:10
otherwise you end up essentially just using cache responsibly using cash income
00:14:15
the way rather than really excited when a targeted when
00:14:20
value for money user to use a term weaker thrown around a lot as the last
00:14:24
one or many uh it's a term we're thrown around a lot through rather
00:14:29
a lot of other donors during around to i'm not sure we are really good definition yeah what
00:14:33
we mean by that um or queer way that we're going to measure that and um
00:14:39
getting better tools better metrics for what we mean by sessions be what we mean by
00:14:44
value for money we don't have a good way right now to compare um
00:14:48
the effectiveness of a different actors of only efficiency different
00:14:53
actors as funding modest funding uh implementation mechanism
00:14:58
we don't have freeways either rules of necessarily uh doing apples
00:15:02
to apples comparisons on just personal digital programming model
00:15:06
is now i think we need to we we need to investing in and around others well thanks
00:15:14
thanks and uh oh no please thank you sorry for interrupting let's quite alright thank
00:15:19
you very much a so it's good to listen to jeremy first anyway um
00:15:24
been doing that for many years we were in a in a humanitarian salon together before she came into government and the
00:15:32
the involvement of businesses and ah i any issue if humanitarian principles i think
00:15:38
it's important to focus on the outcomes there and to make sure you looking at
00:15:42
the protection related outcomes because most assistance does have a protection related i can't
00:15:47
in a forced migration situation so it's really important to look at that
00:15:52
and i don't think that it's impossible for businesses to train themselves if
00:15:56
they're really going to be the ones looking at the outcomes
00:15:59
i'm i'm not sure that the right next or maybe maybe businesses do a part of the
00:16:04
being there well in doubt to do and then i mean g. or somebody else that knows protection looks at the outcome
00:16:10
i think there are different ways of setting it up so that you don't end up putting the wrong actor in the
00:16:15
position where they send it in competent to do something and
00:16:19
i would say during mention the world bank they are
00:16:24
mm usually involving themselves in a lot of forced migration situations particularly
00:16:29
protracted and they've undertaken in a men's self training ah
00:16:35
i think they're they're doing lots of training you're inviting lots of people in to talk
00:16:41
and they're reaching out and i think a doing a hell of a job in getting
00:16:45
themselves ready to look at a part of the ah the whole scheme on
00:16:51
development if you think of development as including humanitarian assistance which some do some don't but let's say it does
00:16:57
they haven't looked at that before because it's been to ah too difficult to risky now they're starting to
00:17:03
think about doing that because the risk is to development if they don't do it so there
00:17:09
they've uh i think taking on quite a quite an enormous task i think it doing it well
00:17:15
probably speaks well that other other entities can also figure out how to do what they do right now um i think i
00:17:23
certainly the issue of i getting economic analysis
00:17:27
done on markets is is very tricky
00:17:30
and you can get conflicting i. analyses to set that has to be something
00:17:35
that we take very seriously and i would not advise probably a humanitarian organisations
00:17:40
right you get themselves that behind that now i can be hard now
00:17:44
i'm with three with v. guide to pay several
00:17:48
comments they caches threatening to the humanitarian system
00:17:52
that may be true and let's say it is true i think that means that they say
00:17:58
a good argument then to go slow enough bitchy figure ah
00:18:04
who is being threatened by why and why and it the threats that are stupid right
00:18:09
you toss off to the side you say no we're going forward but they're gonna be some threats that are meaningful
00:18:15
and it had to do with the beneficiaries or with the host communities that are important to pay attention
00:18:20
to you and so those need to be thought through and that's how we get back to you
00:18:26
it caches in for every every place in every time it's not for every circumstance and you have to
00:18:31
pay attention to what's going on and who the people are you talking about not not talking
00:18:43
and yeah i just wanted to comment on um on the
00:18:46
yeah bandwagon commitments uh another dishes and also on the
00:18:50
i need for investment in in order to change the system either business model um
00:18:58
they are as as we all know there are potential conflicts between affair effects of commitments within the grant writing
00:19:05
and for example um between fifty make my thumb and you might funding
00:19:09
um that can be in conflict with our commitments on cash roundup levitation that with uh it
00:19:15
just lays down from norway side where already appetite yes for um yeah my funding
00:19:20
but we're still working t. to improve myself on that and also on providing multi yeah i found him
00:19:27
i think that getting an idiomatic funding t. uh organisations to give them the
00:19:33
necessary flexibility to make the necessary changes and we asked on ice
00:19:37
she'd worked uh in the garden and governing bodies off a a format
00:19:42
stations that we are members stuff like yeah like the un augmentation
00:19:47
um
00:19:49
and a comment i yeah it on a funding on your
00:19:53
mike funding at various if trash uh i grant writing
00:19:56
catfish workshop in her own and what's that proposal that
00:20:00
that don't exchange fanned quite a nation of cash
00:20:04
share donna's chiffon quite nice enough cash but not necessarily
00:20:08
at your mike funding actually being directed in t.
00:20:11
the augmentation speculative budget and thereby funded so then we wouldn't be in in conflict with the
00:20:18
with the grand bargain commitment on and you're mighty but it but i think i need to remember
00:20:23
that we have that commitment as well and we're not about to go in the direction of mark your mac funding
00:20:30
however as i thought in my presentation from now my side
00:20:33
we are willing to invest in a specific i
00:20:38
project to taft new models in a specific context is that despite channel um
00:20:45
well i guess by channel approach um so we see that in some
00:20:50
cases it's might be useful or necessary to actually having my targeted
00:20:56
uh approach to you to invest in in change but that would be
00:21:00
an exception and not a change in action no ah approach
00:21:04
uh and then just the final i comment on on the issue of uh of targets and uh now i haven't
00:21:10
had a target on ah how many percentage half i have fifteen should begin in front of cash uh yeah
00:21:17
faith to some degree because we're not able to measure how much they actually get in cash flow
00:21:22
but i don't think we necessarily shade that from i five style i think yeah that's the
00:21:26
implemented i should be able t. t. the fact again if if in fact they provide
00:21:31
and cast fashion time unkind but for us and that wouldn't
00:21:36
i really make much fans ask the system works now
00:21:42
if thank you um so joe's question around um choice of about this except rap or in the
00:21:49
case of lead on we've gone for a cool fall proposal for more um traditional papas
00:21:55
um but in different we have the possibility to got to turn
00:21:59
the uh much more broadly into into the private sector
00:22:03
provide those in the um if necessary i think it's it's very important that we clarify
00:22:09
for which which function functions we're using which type of documents of uh for
00:22:14
the reasons that that i've been the duty to in the questions as well but
00:22:18
definitely would be able to to include to approve the prior to problems um
00:22:24
i think that the scary or off the couch program will have a lot of influence
00:22:28
in terms of the choice of all that that we go for for each
00:22:33
type of function um the
00:22:37
but the lady from islam has been so one one also difficult question but um but pockets um
00:22:46
of course talking some not set in stone and then not a legally binding um
00:22:50
but i think they're useful in terms of pushing all souls as institutions to
00:22:56
think more about why we're not doing couch and to challenge all
00:23:00
souls um i think a mention in defeat we would
00:23:05
to have a talk at but we also couldn't measure uh how much cash we
00:23:10
we found so we are changing all systems to be able to to do
00:23:14
that um and i think that the talk of sort of been
00:23:17
mentioned to the top of the world vision when she's very uh ambitions
00:23:22
um all those all around thirty percent will fall below him so
00:23:27
all of them or below what actually we think could be delivered a catch so i don't think that that
00:23:33
challenging and um of thing but but they're good work
00:23:37
to keep us focused on making progress um
00:23:42
it was a question from christine on uh the involvement of local actors
00:23:47
um i mean first of all again no or interaction with phones
00:23:51
is going to be delivered three couches that was perfectly rueful look
00:23:55
and act as the thing that look like actors will have
00:23:59
to play a crucial role in terms of um the curve softer functions
00:24:04
that enable a cash and that actually monitor the impact of cash
00:24:09
owned by the fisheries because their proximity to um
00:24:13
to affected populations and and beneficiaries um
00:24:18
value for money is um a term that we use a lot and if it um
00:24:23
just to reassure you that cost effectiveness is not does not quite quite funny for
00:24:29
me for for us some value uh is very much part of that equation
00:24:34
things like speed and quality all part of our internal definition for
00:24:40
for money but i would agree that we probably need
00:24:43
a kind of system wide um definitional east broad agreement
00:24:47
what value for money means um ethics and principle
00:24:52
i'm very much of the sensible concerns um
00:24:57
the value added of the private sector and the private sector will have to demonstrate
00:25:02
what the what the value is but it's different to in terms of
00:25:06
specific skills and expertise in certain aspects of the delivery of
00:25:12
cash um and also specially cost even though they they
00:25:16
don't looking to make a profit of us as we
00:25:19
heard um but potentially because of the existing infrastructure
00:25:25
um lower costs for the actual transfer of cash and that's why
00:25:29
i think it's important to the sec okay between functions because
00:25:33
when we're talking about are separating of the functions that have to do
00:25:37
with assessment and monitoring it subtracts precisely to ensure that the right
00:25:44
people all being rich uh with cash and that there is no other interference and
00:25:49
i know that there are checks and balances work you mention principles all or um
00:25:54
or one of the cool things that we we need to to look at
00:26:00
investing in contrast to um yeah out allocating resources to
00:26:06
to build capacity including on the market analysis
00:26:11
i would agree with that that it's it's probably one of the the
00:26:14
things that are a very slow in progress down the moment um
00:26:20
i think that
00:26:21
we need to have a conversation between don't isn't agencies us to
00:26:27
costing basically those various functions around catch i don't think we
00:26:32
we have reached that point yet where we can actually cost
00:26:35
separately the most of the functions um separate from
00:26:40
the actual transfer of cash uh uh uh i think it'd be very
00:26:44
useful to to do that together um but i also think that
00:26:50
collectively uh uh i go back to to my point about making that decision
00:26:56
we need to actually individually and collectively we need to um decide
00:27:02
what were we want to have as individual organisations in this area
00:27:07
and therefore what capacity would need to implement that i'm i'm
00:27:12
we would need to agree you what the system wide
00:27:16
uh functions or and market analysis i think uh is typically you
00:27:21
one of those cross cutting um functions that today's no taking place as of
00:27:28
cross cutting system white activity isn't very much skew toward certain sectors
00:27:33
oh and and their form know really what we would expect in terms of market
00:27:38
announces no but you know in order to device um it could catch program
00:27:48
thank you uh the questions that you're going to take
00:27:51
can they be very brief e. yeah you
00:28:00
the only britain forced him individual who from format there so according to prod also also for
00:28:06
one of us is the ten percent to ninety percent for michael uh into a deficiency
00:28:13
i don't think inquest to put a different level uh also risk adverse vocalisation
00:28:18
and um if i mean yes in the blue there's always
00:28:23
something 'cause before it's experiences also this with the version
00:28:27
a truck all format trusses it's not less costly but if you have like 'cause programming with maybe
00:28:33
on the doesn't work with possibilities weeks or maybe billy bunny countries can be much higher
00:28:38
and i'm just wanting to also think about a little the whole
00:28:42
four course functions in some areas workers can use them
00:28:46
no one people in this organisation there's a certain risk involved i wonder
00:28:50
if there has been an before going into kind of ensuring consistency
00:28:56
this is also for what's most cops what it's all these buttons
00:29:02
thank you very much a lawyer he projected from which ah so three years ago and jenny there
00:29:07
we had a similar meeting in which we talked about the transformer did nature of cash
00:29:12
and reflected on the pressure that cash with but on the humanitarian system and today there does
00:29:17
seem to be some acknowledgement that the united tearing quite nation architecture really hasn't then
00:29:23
as little as flexible ah as we would have hopes
00:29:26
that would allow us to really absorb cast programming
00:29:30
especially multipurpose casper banning and patrick mention the challenges we
00:29:34
have in getting cash reflected in humanitarian response plans
00:29:38
so i'd like to know concretely what actions you think should be taken to ensure that the humanitarian quite nation
00:29:44
architecture not only really uh adapts to the cast caleb
00:29:49
but also as jeremy mention these to maximum impact
00:29:52
and i'd also like to know whether you think that transformation can come from with then
00:29:57
or whether it's a male external pressure and interference perhaps is required
00:30:02
and if so where would this come from thank you
00:30:07
thank you know saying is also an n. t. is try saying the the one of the
00:30:12
the issues he is uh um and the reactions basically say the ethnic and racial
00:30:17
is it we still have a very simplistic uh um uh some surround
00:30:22
the mass money we have we process equals method how we have and that if we is anyone
00:30:27
individually agency have less money coming from book search engine up our our interests ah a legitimacy
00:30:33
uh no no spot shots morning by uh get real finance comments on how it but it's it's a little bit a
00:30:39
few minutes you know when when there's a need for a bit more humidity between us agencies in this debate
00:30:44
as tame as you say the privileged position of hearing what we say publicly that will say here with bilateral charts
00:30:50
i wonder what what mere useless hole that's the the inferences say
00:30:54
okay what are the ass she's behaviours that has we need out some nice being what it is about to discuss
00:31:00
um what different forms of power might use emergence this business is on a couple of myself
00:31:15
i'll say a little bit a little the applicants more to say on this uh just guessing ah i think adam
00:31:25
it would be a lot easier demanded as the it into the show to question first
00:31:29
i think it would be a lot easier to comment on how the
00:31:32
humanitarian coordination architecture should change in order to adapt it cash
00:31:37
if there were widespread agreement on what the cash should look like
00:31:41
and i don't think with their yet and i think there there are some very strong views and there's a lot of shared
00:31:48
vision about the fact that it could be a whole lot more than it
00:31:52
is but there are a whole lot of things to take into consideration
00:31:56
and until we have a little bit more ah changeable idea of what
00:32:01
we're really you mean yeah i think it probably would be ah
00:32:06
difficult impossible and unwise to try to say okay this is
00:32:10
how we're gonna change the immature information architecture itself
00:32:14
even though you made had a meeting at three years ago i think probably get a little bit time to wait on that one um
00:32:21
i think humility is a really good idea um i think agencies actually involved in mentoring is is is often on
00:32:29
for a very very very long time and i've gone through a whole lot
00:32:32
of changes with different organisations and i think the one of the biggest
00:32:39
most difficult things is the biggest challenge is to do the work inside
00:32:44
the organisation at the same time you're talking to other organisations
00:32:48
and that's extremely difficult to do so for example if the u. n. h. c. r. unicef and the
00:32:54
other international organisations they gotta deal with the donnas they have to deal with their own partners
00:32:59
have to deal with their own staff and then they have to deal with each other and it's a law it's it's
00:33:06
it's it's much easier for a donor to decide this is how we're gonna go
00:33:13
and it's a lot harder to get the whole un system or the whole humanitarian system to go along
00:33:18
yeah somebody suggested that maybe we just don't do it through you and and well i don't know i i think that's a real
00:33:26
i'm likely prospect i think the humanitarian assistance need
00:33:31
be kind of global framework that the un provides and that includes the standards that i talk
00:33:37
to buy it includes principles that includes the international lots out there it it works
00:33:43
anyway i'll stuff 'cause i know there's probably only thirty seconds left or something
00:33:48
anyway i think it's it's unlikely to think that we should uh invasion
00:33:53
huge changes in the un system but that maybe just i'm burdened by a lot of uh
00:34:00
a lot of experience in doing
00:34:04
should thanks now nah run through the panelists and don't ask uh huh for
00:34:09
just five minutes extra from you if it's okay uh thank you
00:34:16
thank you i want definitely not take one i don't have a lot of answers to all these very difficult question
00:34:22
uh and the uh insurance afraid to um i think there are a um
00:34:28
i didn't uh a lot of it that interesting presentation slightly by insurance company through right
00:34:33
on on with can ensure and that in humanitarian assistance in particular choice natural disasters
00:34:39
but also an armed conflict but i haven't really heard any yeah anybody talk
00:34:43
about a a a a cash in that context i think yeah
00:34:46
there's some interesting developments that um that we should keep an eye on and perhaps that take advantage of when it comes to him
00:34:54
t. quite nice and uh i think from hi-fi we would actually i really
00:34:58
liked if the um the issue of where quite a nation fit
00:35:02
uh with and assistance thought thought that week it made on uh i did take a fine that uh
00:35:09
perhaps it would be easier if we knew what it would uh it should look like but
00:35:12
um that's the only thing they uh it it it would be important to actually
00:35:16
and maybe away from that rather fragmented and heated discussion um
00:35:20
he should coordinate done them and actually um i be
00:35:25
certain that in actually maintain contact there would be quite nation
00:35:29
about baptists strategic level and at the technical level
00:35:33
thanks
00:35:37
thank you um but we haven't also insuring against perversion brits but um
00:35:43
differently uh the risk of diversion is the uh and uh uh as we've
00:35:47
heard it's probably low uh uh in the different constant bending calling
00:35:51
bought it upset that this so there's an issue perception but there's also
00:35:55
an issue of the risk being difference with with cash transfers um
00:36:01
i think what's important is that we continue to dialogue around
00:36:05
those risks will be or how they all evolving over time as well as was caleb catch
00:36:11
uh and also what medications we or um to get
00:36:15
a uh implementing to to address those risks um
00:36:20
we often been cash transfers in very high risk environments so there is some
00:36:26
level of uptight for is taking a on the down side but that
00:36:30
dialogue is essential if we want to prevent a backlash uh um don't want
00:36:36
to create a as was kind of a cash in terms of
00:36:40
she merchant coordination and she merchant architecture uh i would agree
00:36:44
with four i think would be very useful to have
00:36:48
oh yes he turned the conversation about but it's um it's
00:36:53
it's still not very clear from where i say where the recommendations
00:36:58
of the will point to the i. o. c. on on
00:37:01
coordination of college uh have a um let to a room so it would be very useful to
00:37:07
to have some feedback from the ideas young but um but i can we do have
00:37:13
good examples of how things can be done differently i'm thinking too clearly rock uh on the phone about
00:37:19
that was a a separate uh um chop so i think a point and a separate budget might
00:37:25
uh and those would be minimal requirements in more if you you know to to to be able to the
00:37:31
lip of multipurpose catch 'em through the existing system basic
00:37:36
since the the existing system is not making those
00:37:40
small adjustments then but it's very difficult for us to to
00:37:44
consider continuing multipurpose catch 'em through through that mechanism um
00:37:52
okay that difficult question around a power and influence um
00:37:58
i know it's worth reflecting earlier on when when when he talked about
00:38:02
um protection and you know going to challenge governments about uh
00:38:08
about rights uh uh back to my time as um protection correlation
00:38:13
for for the s. l. c. in various complex and
00:38:17
actually that resonate to the lot with me it's it's true that you know it
00:38:21
it yields inference if you have a a b. program um also worked in
00:38:25
in in countries where wouldn't happen um so i think there are
00:38:29
other factors that that you you influence your mandate um you know uh
00:38:35
professionalism and and the impact that you haven't been fisheries um
00:38:42
we all know actually shall i mean with with this
00:38:45
idea of separating uh functions are we on
00:38:49
not uh uh actual fundamentally challenging mondays oh uh
00:38:54
the power uh within the system oh
00:38:58
uh the roles and responsibilities of of the system on the
00:39:01
country i think we are trying to green falls
00:39:05
the value of humanitarian agencies within the sector but i think that having a rule that has to do with
00:39:12
i'm assessing a needs deciding who gets
00:39:16
cash monitoring the impact of cash and communicating on that you'll see quite a lot
00:39:21
of our own potentially more power than a a bunch humanitarian agencies no
00:39:31
but um i think all started matthew
00:39:37
please quiet for a while
00:39:42
he's waiting for the five
00:39:46
the highlight
00:39:49
yeah yeah yeah alright yeah okay alright i'll go ahead of the us most remote stuff up
00:39:58
so on the the question about over and sanctions concerns up
00:40:04
i don't know if there are specific concerns from your site side
00:40:07
uh on on cash per se but i do think that
00:40:12
the political profile o. o. o. cast yellows is different in in ways that might
00:40:17
get more attention from of that um i think as with any uh
00:40:22
as with any new program high risk environment it used to be
00:40:25
at the forefront of of the minds of implementing partners um
00:40:30
yeah we need to think maybe different we were to creatively about which tools or which just waited tools we
00:40:36
use i know in the server room vouchers is probably dirty word um but you know in syria
00:40:43
i was uh when i was lost i was quite sceptical of cash and quite supportive of our troops
00:40:49
because well vouchers were somewhat less efficient in terms of the proportion of the total value
00:40:54
that they deliver big did you have additional protections in terms of due diligence
00:40:59
yeah and um it made it it made it possible for me to say
00:41:03
with a straight face to to our inspector general or to congress that
00:41:08
oh we know which businesses are getting money uh we know who are working with
00:41:13
something i couldn't say about a test program in an apartment and so
00:41:16
um we we may need to think about how we calibrate the tools to the rose um
00:41:23
you can you know do don't and sends you and uh you know your wrist sense when we're one uh we're looking at the most
00:41:29
uh we how we balance intact versus due diligence um and uh
00:41:33
you know cotton barman aura of our environments are are smaller
00:41:38
i'll be the the point oxfam annoyance of martin made on the the
00:41:43
simplistic relationship or simplistic assumptions between budget share an hour it's
00:41:50
that is really the fundamental issue or one of the fundamental issues
00:41:54
a catcher is is is uh you know we we have
00:41:59
got new point works with one question than assumed that the the major un agencies
00:42:05
should also control most of the money within their sectors yeah and um
00:42:09
i think what what we're seeing is that that doesn't inherit we have to be the
00:42:13
case and uh the fact that an agency has a mandate up for particular
00:42:20
oh oh particular population or particular era a particular set proletariat
00:42:25
doesn't necessarily mean they need to control the resources or the preponderance of the resources within that area or the
00:42:31
dollars resources must pass through their hands and so i think um it begins cast begins to segment somewhat
00:42:38
what the actual functions are um previously to sort of what has happened with newspapers where the
00:42:45
older is newspapers had there are there are classified ads financed um they're they're reporting
00:42:52
s. o. s. d. you forgot the model for un agencies is
00:42:56
a little bit like that that are their their program
00:42:59
other their their program um budgets up to somewhat finances so slow as a
00:43:05
lot of other things that they do and those other things have value
00:43:08
but uh not budgeted wraps as clearly as they could do yeah and uh yeah and
00:43:13
cast begins to put a spotlight on that as does the transparent
00:43:17
as to the transparency commitments underground bargain and i did you
00:43:21
we need to move toward the different dialogue about what are the what are the
00:43:24
core functions we're talking about here and how do they each get finance
00:43:28
and where is that enable them to be more transparent yeah i'm more grown maximise them thanks
00:43:36
hence last but not least uh matthew a covering for a call
00:43:42
thanks very much in the absence all of into the uh just train briefly address the questions
00:43:47
a lot has been said on the the question of risk that uh to uh to mitigate the risk
00:43:53
i i think the key point we d. is that there is a risk there's a risk with
00:43:57
any type of the systems that we do but i think we need to be realistic
00:44:00
that that means that i don't think the fact that there's reese should mean that we stop
00:44:05
doing eh cash based assistance and i think the basic the individual that is probably small
00:44:12
it's probably more when you have that acting all for all the cancer something that that that you
00:44:16
the big problem when you also futurists within kind
00:44:19
so let's be realistic database there is risk
00:44:23
yeah but don't let it stop was doing insistence that let's also as
00:44:26
as jeremy saturday role that's that i mean something will happen
00:44:30
so let's let's be sure that we can actually have a story and a a way to address that so it doesn't get out of
00:44:36
hand and put a stop to to catch based assistance which would
00:44:40
be a major shame in terms of the the the architecture
00:44:45
i think we have to recognise also caches of the data to a we're not looking at
00:44:50
something completely different the existing aid architecture is also
00:44:54
quite a it the existing coordination mechanisms
00:44:58
it's like that and it needs to be more nimble it's not that we need to
00:45:01
be more nimble for cash i think it needs to be more nimble of itself
00:45:05
so i think we we need to maybe not think that cash is the is the main reason
00:45:11
why we need to to add changes to the eight architecture may need to be changed anyway
00:45:16
and and finally on the power issue eh um
00:45:22
i i really don't see that that the power is related to the
00:45:25
delivery likewise the proximity to benefit trees which we discussed earlier
00:45:30
i don't see that that's that that's the issue i think the the real decision making about
00:45:36
you know who gets the assistance but that that assistance is achieving the impact
00:45:40
that's what makes it possible for an organisation as well as the points that were mentioned about reputation and all that
00:45:47
those are the points make it important and a he for
00:45:52
a organisations to get the a.'s with governments and actually
00:45:56
had influence it's not because they're coming in with the big amounts of money it's because they actually have
00:46:01
have something to to do in terms of defining where it is should go
00:46:06
properly targeting properly assessing properly you know getting that feedback loop to make sure things
00:46:11
are actually going without echo as a donor often ends up maybe financing
00:46:16
five percent of a program sometimes we end up financing on the presenter program
00:46:22
our influence it doesn't seem to to their you but it's like present or doctor percentage
00:46:28
so it's it's i think we need to get away from this idea that we need to be delivering
00:46:33
in order to actually be able to have a voice and say something sense that assistance um so i think that leave it at that
00:46:43
thank you uh i quite ten minutes uh that's more than what i does fall and us all
00:46:49
i don't have much to say but to but uh there could be planted east and uh
