An Agenda for a Dignified and Sustainable Rohingya Refugee Response in Bangladesh the coordination of law and order and management of Rohingya camps and repatriation related activities. The committee was given the power to observe and review the decisions taken by NTF and other related government bodies on Rohingya refugees.195 4.1.1.2 United Nations and Strategic Executive Group (SEG) The humanitarian actors receive policy and strategic guidance from the Strategic Executive Group (SEG) co-chaired by the UN Resident Coordinator (UNRC) and country representatives of IOM and UNHCR. The SEG is represented by Heads of UN agencies, MSF, IFRC, ICRC, Bangladeshi/international NGOs196 as well as the donor group representatives. Within the SEG, there are two working groups, the Localisation Task Force (LTF)197 and Protection Advocacy Working Group (PAWG)198 represented by UN agencies, donors and Bangladeshi/international NGOs. The SEG is accountable for the Rohingya refugee response in Bangladesh. 4.1.1.3 NGO coordination mechanisms At the national level, there are a number of NGO networks for Bangladeshi and international NGOs. Bangladeshi NGO fora such as National Alliance of Humanitarian Actors Bangladesh (NAHAB), NIRAPAD, BDPC, Association of Development Agencies in Bangladesh (ADAB), Federation of NGOs in Bangladesh (FNB) etc include humanitarian actors as members but are focused on disaster preparedness and response and not on Rohingya refugee related issues. The INGO Forum is a voluntary group of INGOs operating in Bangladesh. The INGO Emergency SubCommittee (INGO ESC) consists of senior staff of INGOs with humanitarian operations,199 including in the Rohingya refugee response. Given the diversity of NGO coordination networks at the national level and the need to streamline NGO engagement and advocacy, the Civil Society Organisation (CSO) Alliance was recently formed in December 2020, inviting both Bangladeshi and international NGOs to join as members. It is hoped that the alliance will grow to play an important role in creating stronger linkages between NGO networks at the national and Cox’s Bazar level, pave greater opportunities for trust-building between stakeholders and expand the scope of joint advocacy and action. 195 Bangladesh forms committee to deal with Rohingya issues, New Age Bangladesh, 24 December 2020, available at https://www.newagebd.net/article/125124/bangladesh-forms-committee-to-deal-with-rohingya-issues 196 At present, the NGO community at SEG is represented by Bangladesh Rohingya Response NGO Platform (NGO Platform), 2 international NGOs (International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Plan International) and 1 Bangladeshi NGO (COAST Trust). 197 To advance Grand Bargain commitments on localisation, in May 2019, the Terms of Reference for the Localisation Task Force (LTF) were endorsed by the SEG. The LTF is co-chaired at the Dhaka level by UNDP and IFRC. The objective of the LTF is to improve humanitarian outcomes in Cox’s Bazar, by recommending a practical localisation strategy, including maximizing the indirect benefits of the operation to Bangladeshi communities through, for example, local procurement. 198 PAWG was established in 2020 as a subsidiary of the SEG with membership of UN, donors and Bangladeshi/international NGOs to collate and analyse protection trends in Cox’s Bazar, identify priority protection issues that are best addressed and followed up at the national level, and develop advocacy strategies taking full advantage of diverse actors including high level interlocutors. 199 Bangladesh Emergency Response Preparedness Plan, 2014, available at https://www.humanitarianresponse.info/sites/www.humanitarianresponse.info/files/documents/files/bgd_bkgd_emergresp-plan_2014_0.pdf Act for Peace / May 2021 43
