What are the patterns and determinants of the donors’ choice of channels of delivery?

Question 1 What are the patterns and determinants of the donors’ choice of channels of delivery? Question 2 As it is recognized that local and national organizations should have a significantly greater access to direct funding from international humanitarian funding sources what could be the obstacles to such a change? Question 3 To what extent does the choice of channels of delivery by donors impact on the efforts to achieve more effective coordination of the humanitarian response to disasters and crises? As recognized in the Grand Bargain, conditions under which humanitarian action is funded (notably the choice of channels of delivery by donors and their earmarking practices) impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of the humanitarian response to disasters and crises.
