| Policy Coherence/Harmonization |
Evaluation |
The United Nations Disaster Management Committee (UNDMT) arranged a meeting with Non Governmental Organizations, European Union, United States Agency for International Development, and Asian Development Bank to exchange and update information. Lack of reliable and accountable information regarding the disaster scene led to misuse of humanitarian assistance. To increase coherence and harmonization among stakeholders, the Humanitarian Response Forum was held; this network enable the UNRC to coordinate and contact NCDM, line ministries, SCOs, development partners and other stakeholders. |
