During the months of June and July 2021, the IRC identified a list of experts and stakeholders. 23 organizations have been targeted in the experts consultations including local and international NGOs.The questions evolved around the three different components of the project to collect information on the current priorities in each sector, the specified actors’ existing campaigns and strategies, shelters, existing systems and mechanisms, the most relevant actors to consider for this project and their own budget estimation for the accomplishment of some key outcomes. Through these consultations, the IRC was able to learn more about the main actors under GBV, CP, Persons with Disabilities, Elderly and Mental Health, their activities, expertise, ongoing initiatives, coordination, and uncovered needs. The outcomes of the consultation fed into the completion of the budget, stakeholders’ identification, activities, target and expected results of the project.

It is based on a longer guidance note by the same title.

These factors heighten the importance of coordination and collaboration.
