The vision of ICVA is a world in which crises-affected populations are effectively protected, assisted, and enabled to rebuild their lives and livelihoods with dignity.
ICVA aims to develop a regional methodology to assess the localization of humanitarian responses in West and Central Africa. The project focuses on exchanging best practices, conducting evidence-based advocacy, and proposing concrete improvements to the localization agenda. The consultant will lead the development of the regional methodology and tools for data collection and visualization. Additionally, the identified countries will work with national researchers and NGO fora to adapt the framework to their contexts and determine relevant indicators for ownership.

ICVA hosted a roundtable discussion on humanitarian needs for its members on 17 January 2024. This discussion builds upon a previous session focused on ‘Humanitarian Prioritization: Principles, Ethics and Realities’.
The focal point of the discussion was a newly released policy paper titled “How should we define and prioritize humanitarian need?” The paper, authored by Hugo Slim from the University of Oxford and commissioned by Impact Initiatives, has been published by the Norwegian Centre for Humanitarian Studies. It offers an independent ethical perspective on humanitarian need.
The primary objective of this paper is to stimulate a broader policy debate on humanitarian needs within the humanitarian sector in 2024.
