The following Humanitarian Coordination Competencies build on the Profile for Humanitarian Coordinators endorsed by the 65th IASC Working Group meeting in July 2006. 1 They mirror and build on seven of the eight Resident Coordinator competencies, 2 with indicators contextualized to humanitarian action, and introduce three additional competencies which have direct application in humanitarian contexts:
• Formulating Strategies, Applying Humanitarian Principles and Norms;
• Fostering Humanitarian Teamwork; and
• Negotiation and Advocacy.
