The Transformative Agenda has affirmed that coordination and leadership in the humanitarian system are essential to ensure that populations affected by conflict or disasters are provided with timely, needs-based, life-saving assistance.

Strengthening coordination and leadership calls for commitment through all steps of the humanitarian programme cycle (HPC) to jointly assess the situation; elaborate operational plans to cover prioritised humanitarian needs; mobilise and allocate resources in-line with the priorities; monitor progress; evaluate whether it is having the expected, sufficient effect for the diverse, affected populations; adjust the strategy and plans accordingly; and document how this is being done to support accountability and transparency.
