Perspectives
Thinking that stays close to the work.
Original briefings on local partnership, useful evidence and connected systems.
Local leadership
Local partnership is a way of working.
Strong local partnerships need more than a transfer of funds. They need useful decision rights, realistic resources and a clear account of responsibility.
Read perspective Evidence & learningEvidence is most useful when it changes a decision.
A good reporting system helps a programme understand what to continue, what to change and where to look more closely.
Read perspective Connected systemsRecovery begins with the choices made during response.
Urgent assistance and longer-term institutional strength can be considered together, even when the immediate priority is saving lives.
