The Inter-Agency Standing Committee Roadmap sets out six priorities for IASC collaborative action which can help to address barriers and enable the scale up of collective and individual sustainable actions, particularly focused at the country level and in impacted communities. 

Each humanitarian country team (HCT) and each cluster will need to consider which of these recommendations are relevant and actionable for them and how best to do this in a coherent and coordinated manner. Implementation will need to be supported by resources, rather than placing further demands on already overstretched field teams.

Six priority areas of the IASC Roadmap:

  1. Step up our response to growing humanitarian needs;
  2. Help people to adapt and build resilience to multiple risks and the impacts of disasters, especially in crisis and fragile settings;
  3. Enhance environmental sustainability of our work
  4. Increase financial support to populations in vulnerable situations threatened by and/or affected by climate shocks;
  5. Strengthen partnerships to advocate for and mobilize more sustainable action, including through more robust evidence base;
  6. Work collaboratively, improve partnerships across sectors embracing and supporting leadership of local and national organizations.
