DFID is taking a number of steps to drive forward reform of the UN's humanitarian system. For example, the UK is supporting the UN's Emergency Response Co-ordinator, Baroness Amos, to implement a series of reforms to support a faster, effective and efficient humanitarian response. These reforms are set out in the Inter Agency Standing Committee's (IASC) Transformative Agenda (TA). They include stronger leadership and better co-ordination and accountability in large scale rapid onset natural disasters and complex emergencies. The Secretary of State for International Development, my right hon. Friend the Member for Sutton Coldfield (Mr Mitchell), is in regular dialogue with Baroness Amos, UN agency heads and other IASC members on these issues.DFID is leading a new Disaster Resilience Political Champions Group which is working to promote and support disaster resilience in poor countries. For example, supporting better early warning systems, new partnerships with the private sector on risk financing, testing out new approaches to cope with disasters such as building schools that can double up as cyclone shelters, strengthening the links development and humanitarian action. This in turn will result in more effective aid, enhanced results and greater value for money.
