Donor Conditions for Ngos

Donor Conditions for NGOs “Reduced Burden for Better Aid” Terms of Reference Task Force

Background

The Donor Conditions for NGOs project aims at contributing reducing the burden of donor conditionalities on NGOs in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness in humanitarian response by gathering evidence of the impact of those conditions on NGOs and provide practical solutions. There is great interest from several NGOs and networks on donor conditions as well as opportunities/room for engagement with donors at global level. ICVA is launching this project building on its role as co-chair of the IASC HFTT and previous engagement on donor conditions to ensure a coordinated and more effective approach.

Technical Task Force

Against this background a Task Force has been created and will be chaired and facilitated by ICVA. The Task Force will:

 Ensure overall content-focused technical guidance during the project  Engage in promoting the campaign through respective communication channels  Engage in disseminating results, sharing own products on the topic and advocacy opportunities  Collect and provide critical input and support to the project lead to ensure the outcome will be of high relevance for all organizations  Contribute drafting a donor outreach strategy going beyond the project duration providing suggestions for follow up

The proposed membership is based on preliminary expressions of interest; concrete experience and technical expertise; and commitment to allocate time and resources to successfully deliver the functions described above and the overall success of the project.

Time expectation from members: Members of the Task Force will be requested to attend monthly or bi-monthly on-line meetings and, most importantly provide regular and prompt feedback and contributions to the products to be developed.
