Resources for coordination
Resources are required to overcome many of the barriers L/NAs face when it comes to their participation and effective engagement. Pooled funds can be particularly effective in allowing local actors, directly or through international agencies, to obtain flexible funding that supports operations, institutional capacity, and staffing.
Visibility
L/NAs have the right to be visible inter alia to, raise awareness of their contributions to humanitarian response, mobilize funds as well as receive acknowledgement for their work. Explicitly acknowledge and proactively support L/NAs role’s in reporting to donors, media and in all other public communications and ensure their visibility in all humanitarian documents (ToR, HNO, HRP, PMR, SOF, EPR, etc.)

Areas of Accountability and Monitoring
Country-level accountability mechanisms should strengthen shared and mutual responsibilities of all humanitarian actors.
