Charter for Change: From Commitments to Action - Progress Report, 2017-2018

This report synthesizes the financial and narrative data shared by 29 of the 33 Charter for Change (C4C) signatory organisations in their second year of progress reporting.

The C4C was initially presented at the World Humanitarian Summit’s (WHS) Global Consultation in Geneva in October 2015, and officially launched at the WHS in Istanbul in May 2016. The majority of signatories signed up to the Charter by October 2015, and most started to work on organisational change initiatives post May 2016. Additional signatories and endorsers signed up since May 2016 and are now participants in the C4C initiative.

Each chapter of the report broadly addresses five aspects: progress, challenges, good practices, learning in relation to making progress and next steps. It is structured into chapters according to the eight C4C commitments as follows:

● Commitments 1 and 3 on financial flows and tracking
● Commitments 2 on partnerships
● Commitment 4 on recruitment
● Commitment 5 on advocacy
● Commitment 6 on equality
● Commitment 7 on capacity support
● Commitment 8 on communications
● Special report on C4C and the Cox Bazar response
