Recommendation 47

47

Inadequate funding arrangements hinder local organisations' security requirements in humanitarian aid delivery.

Conclusion
Approaches to negotiating contracts and funding arrangements, where local organisations will be delivering humanitarian aid, are not always fit for purpose. There are inadequate mechanisms to ensure that the security requirements of local organisations are fed through intermediaries to the FCDO. There is evidence of inflexibility in eligible items for funding. (Conclusion, Paragraph 93)
