FCDO should strengthen how it communicates its offer and training for overseas posts, ensuring that posts clearly understand the capabilities available to them through HCRD and how to access the support effectively.

FCDO should define and monitor a set of central performance indicators for sudden-onset humanitarian crisis response, covering speed, quality, capability deployment and results. It should require these metrics to be applied consistently across humanitarian crisis responses, by a combination of HCRD, geographic regions and posts ? depending on responsibilities for responding to each crisis.

FCDO should explore options for improving the quality, completeness and usability of its cost information for humanitarian crisis response. It should then make practical improvements, enabling it to routinely assess value for money. Better cost information should be used to inform its decisions on the overall size and use of the HCF.

FCDO should improve how it identifies, disseminates and implements lessons from humanitarian crisis reviews, with an increased focus on the outcomes achieved. The process should involve HCRD, geographic regions, posts and CMD where appropriate. HCRD and CMD should ensure these lessons are used to inform future planning, programme design, guidance, and humanitarian crisis response delivery across FCDO.
