Julie Bishop address to Council 2010
Humanitarian Reference Group (HRG)
ACFID Humanitarian Reference Group (HRG)
The purpose of ACFID's Humanitarian Reference Group (HRG) was to provide a medium for agencies to share information, improve coordination between agencies, and develop tools/events to share with the wider humanitarian sector.
With increasing operational and policy challenges in this area, the ACFID Humanitarian Reference Group (HRG) was invited in 2008 by ACFID's Executive Committee to increase its role to that of an ACFID advisory committee. As an advisory committee, the HRG will continue to coordinate emergency response systems, work closely with ACFID's Executive Committee on policy and advocacy and further collaborate on operational activities/policy such as disaster risk reduction, protection, civil military coordination and human security issues.
Membership
The HRG includes representatives of ACFID members with significant operational involvement in emergency relief and/or humanitarian issues. All members participate in a representative capacity. Nominations for membership are approved by the Executive Committee.
If you are an ACFID member and would like to become a member of the HRG please contact ACFID.
