Management and Coordination in Humanitarian Architecture Review Report

This report provides an overview of the current humanitarian architecture, focusing on coordination, management, and relevant policies. It examines the role of the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) and Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) in reinforcing the management setup and addressing issues like cluster merging and expansion. The report discusses key elements such as IHL, IHRL, and the Humanitarian Donor Group (HDG), Afghan Humanitarian Forum (AHF), and their roles in ensuring an effective and honorable humanitarian response. It also explores the importance of local and national actors in improving humanitarian performance and the need for strategic strategies to address multidimensional problems. The report highlights the importance of standards, working with regional establishments, and strengthening responsibility to affected individuals within the humanitarian framework.

The current humanitarian architecture is fit for the purpose
A coordination architecture review is an evaluation of whether the recent harmonization tools
in place are fit for the purpose. It offers an opportunity to the HC (Humanitarian Coordinator)
and HCT (Humanitarian Country Team) for reinforcing the management set-up. The
evaluation is intended to entail problems with respect to the expansion, cluster merging,
deactivation, sectorial, and humanitarian management arrangements. The primary aim of the
review is to support to HCT and HC with respect to assuring the flexibility, as well as a
reliable coordination tool, is in the place for the operational requirement and reliable
coordination efforts (Humanitarian, 2015). The current Humanitarian architecture is
supportive of the coordination set‐up and implores methods for solving the current issue
systematically. It also offers an opportunity of cluster transition and the national counterparts
capability as it would be crucial to fulfilling the coordination role at the time of keeping the
readiness of global actors in the context of emergencies (Grant and Jewkes, 2015). In
addition, it is also examined that ACAR (Afghanistan Coordination Architecture Review)
was assumed by OCHA to examine whether cluster harmonization architecture will be fit for
purpose. From the evaluation, it is also addressed that review offered an opportunity for the
HCT and HC to reinforce the coordination setup in the place and consider problems with
respect to the de-activation, expansion, expansion, and humanitarian coordination activities.
In addition, it is examined that mainstream inability systems to rapidly mobilize capitals and
presence is indicative. It could also support the person for thinking empathetically rather than
general evaluate the current situation of firm H(aak, et al., 2018). It could also be imperative
for making favorable relation with others. In addition, it is examined that the humanitarian
structure is effective for evaluating many malaise aspects. In addition, it is examined that
international literature could be imperative for the attainment of the organizational task.
Furthermore, the international literature review could be imperative for exploring the recent

position of national and local actors and entails how these would look in the new
international humanitarian architecture with a reliable partnership with local and national
actors, permitting them to accomplish their full potential to improve the humanitarian
performance (Gonzalez, 2016). In addition, it is examined that group members of the
humanitarian community could be imperative for conversing localization in the WHS
associated sessions, entailing diverse context comparative to another area, the closeness in
their relationship to change the climate and humanitarian architecture (Roesdahl and
Varughese, 2017).
Humanitarian policy, legal frameworks, and accountability
There are certain global policies that could be effective for accomplishing the organizational
task. It could also lead to making a reliable relationship with others in the least time such as
IHL (International Humanitarian Law), IHRL (International Human Rights Law), and the
policies for domestic enabling. It could be effective for accomplishing the aim of the
research. Moreover, the international humanitarian structure is overstretched and capitalizing
ineffectively in the risk discount and providing assistance, which is often inappropriate. This
structure might modify with nearby led humanitarian acts wherever possible, suitable funding
to local actors in the affected cities and robust partnership between local as well as
international actors concentrating on consolidation local capability (Widera, Hellingrath, and
Bubbich, 2015). HCT (Humanitarian Country Team) is operational and strategic decision
making and mistake body recognized and led by the HC to manage international
humanitarian assistance with respect to existing global efforts. In addition, it is also examined
that there are certain elements that might be considered as humanitarian policy named IOM,
UN agencies, national NGOs, and Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement. It could be effective
for the accomplishment of the organizational task (Checchi, et at., 2016). In addition, it is
examined that agencies are designated cluster represents both their cluster and their firm in

4
HCT. In addition, it is examined that humanitarian operations that entail national and sub-
national brunches been addressed to be more imperative as compared to coordinating by the
single national cluster. In addition, it is examined that sub-national harmonization system
might vary across the regions then the organization should reorganize decision-making and
reduce the response time. It could also be imperative for the attainment of the organizational
task (Davey and Scriven, 2015).
 Select standards to native situations.
 Work carefully with the regional establishments and global, local, and national.
 Implying strategic strategy and cross and multidimensional problems.
 Strengthen responsibility to the influenced individual.
Humanitarian Donor Group (HDG)
The major aim of HDG (Humanitarian Donor Group) is to donate an imperative to an
efficient and honorable humanitarian reaction. In addition, it is also examined that
Humanitarian Donor Group inspires donor states to approve and imply the principles of
Humanitarian Donorship. In addition, it is examined that HDG encounters monthly and is led
by DG ECHO, with investments in the humanitarian software design. In addition, it is
examined that HCT and ICCT and Afghan Humanitarian Forum conferences feed in the
HDG (Tomlinson, 2014).
Afghan Humanitarian Forum (AHF)
AHF (Afghan Humanitarian Forum) is the management forum co-facilitated by the agency
and meet monthly and concentrates on coordinating of NGO acts at the national and sub-
national agency and advocacy on problems affecting the works of NGOs. It is examined that
NGOs could be imperative for humanitarian stakeholders as it would lead to getting a
favorable result. Moreover, it is examined that AHF is a combination of Global and
international humanitarian NGOs and feeds into the HCT (Hendriks, 2017).
