ECB Consortia

What is an ECB Consortium?

Objective 1 is focused on field-based activities in five consortia. The consortia are located in: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Horn of Africa, Indonesia, and Niger. Each consortium is made up of some or all of the six IWG agency country programs (CARE International, CRS, Mercy Corps, Oxfam, Save the Children and World Vision) who in partnership with other NGOs, UN institutions, local partners, communities, and government actors are committed to working together to improve their national and field level emergency preparedness and response capabilities and practices.

• Bangladesh - Lead Agency - Save the Children
• Bolivia - Lead Agency - Oxfam GB
• Horn of Africa region - Lead Agency - World Vision International
• Indonesia - Lead Agency - CRS
• Niger - Lead Agency - CARE International
 

These consortia will plan and implement a series of activities with the aim of:

• improving their performance in recruiting, retaining, developing, and deploying skilled staff;
• increasing their accountability to affected populations and communities;
• decreasing the risks from disasters through local and national government policy changes;
• improving the coping mechanisms of participating communities;
• improving the coordination in preparedness and response;
• developing agreements and work towards implementing joint response activities; and
• gathering data and document lessons for sharing with global agencies and sectors.

Ultimately, at the field level, lives will be saved, livelihoods will be protected, and recovery from disaster will be faster and less expensive. Field-level work is the largest of the three components of ECB Phase II.
