What is the Purpose of Coordination?• Coordination is a tool used to improve the humanitarian

response. It is not a goal.

• Specifically, coordination must add value: – ensure a better quality of response– ensure a more timely response– ensure a less costly response– reduce waste

• Q & A (2 minutes for answers)• Similarities • Differences

Panellist Presentations

‘Top Tips’ from the Global CPWG – Know about and respect their particular mandates – know it,

credit it, respect it and use it to help bring them into the group. When there is conflict, look at what you have in common. E.g.

child protection systems. Find the right person – In every organisation there is someone

who can move across their organisation effectively if they are ‘on board’.

In the global level CPWG, we have a group accountability. Members hold each other to account – you can do that too.

Money – Engagement gets rewarded.

What does CPiE look like to you?

• In small groups discuss what you see when you think of CPiE

• Draw / write these on VIPP cards in one or two words

• In plenary, discuss the responses.
