Please reach out to the UN-CMCoord Service unit in Geneva, and they ... More

There was a domestication effort underway about 2 years ago, but I am not sure where that process ended up in light of the political developments since 2020.

Can anyone share any case study examples of support to domestication and implementation of the AU/Kampala Convention on IDP protection & assistance, once ratified?

Good questions, Andrew Let me share some reflections, which may not necessarily fall into the direct response to your questions: I am assuming that your question is in consideration of "communal" WASH infrastructure in the refugee camp settings?

Sounds very interesting. The ability to absorb innovation from outside is a key point. Thanks Andrew ------------------------------ Liz Hughes Chief Executive MapAction Westbury sub Mendip United Kingdom ------------------------------ More
I would agree with Julia. When a need arises, or when circumstances change dramatically, it's time to be creative and to innovate. Unfortunately, I don't see a lot of bottom-up innovations bubble up to the top; all too often these local innovations remain unnoticed and are simply part of what needs to ... More
