Proposal: Piloting the Independent Commission for Voices in Crises (ICVIC)

Introduction

This note sets out a proposal to pilot an Independent Commission for Voices in Crises (ICVIC). The purpose of the ICVIC is to help shift the international humanitarian response towards one that delivers what people want rather than what it can provide. The ICVIC will pilot approaches to elevating and making more visible the priorities and needs identified by affected people to senior decision makers; and to independently evaluate how well the international humanitarian response delivers against those needs.
