**Organizational Context**:
Please see here the full **organizational context**.

**Job Purpose**:
To conduct research and analysis on the contribution of National Society preparedness and response capacity strengthening efforts on localization through enabling a more locally-led humanitarian assistance.

**Scope**

Founded on a solid basis of existing research, analyses and key informant interviews with Movement Partners and other stakeholders, establish an understanding and evidence of how the localization agenda and preparedness efforts contribute to NS response capacity and ultimately to more locally-led**[1]** responses.

Primary research questions _(to be refined during Inception phase)_ are:

- In what ways and where does enhanced institutional preparedness _contribute_ to localization i.e., quality, timely locally-led responses (NS HQ and branches)? and in what ways does empowered locally led action contribute to strong operational coordination, with less support needed from external / international actors?
- What _trends_ exist among successful preparedness initiatives across the Movement?
- What works and what doesn’t?

Thinking 5 or 10 year ahead what areas need to be strengthened (g., could Artificial Intelligence improve preparedness and response work in the future) and **which areas might be less important in the future/or should be adapted to the new trends**,
- How does the PER approach and mechanism support a _coordinated approach towards response capacity strengthening _among Movement partners and_ contribute to a collective impact_?
- How does PER overlap with and contribute to National Society Development initiatives, and how have partners effectively supported both approaches?
- What areas for future development might require investment to _amplify_ the impact of preparedness activities on NS response capacity (locally-led response, local operational leadership and decision-making)?
- How might bottlenecks and challenges be tackled? How might successful initiatives be scaled up?
- What motivates a NS to prioritize preparedness activities and operationalize PER?

**[1]** The term localisation was popularised by the Grand Bargain and refers to approach or process taken by the international humanitarian system to increase investment and respect for the role of local actors.

Locally-led action denotes approaches where programmes/interventions are conceived, shaped and delivered closer to the affected communities (ie local actors such as NS esp the branches) and as such the emphasis is on the power and agency of the 'local' not on the 'international support'.

**Job Duties and Responsibilities**:
**Research Methodology**

Research will be conducted by an external consultant (or small team) leading the research process in close collaboration with DRM (preparedness and operations) and localisation experts from within the International Federation Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies network. Persons identified for the role should have 3-6 months availability to complete the desk review, data collection, analysis, reporting, case study development and dissemination activities outlined below.

Research on primary and secondary data should pertain to the implementation of preparedness initiatives in the long term, as well as immediate lead up to and throughout emergency responses. In addition to RCRC relevant staff, the research should also look to include input from civil protection, national government disaster management/ coordination body and other relevant government agencies (such as Ministry of Health) or other stakeholders, where applicable, as a way to validate a NS preparedness and response actions.

This research intends to review existing research and other documents (relevant operation and program reports, other operational findings and learnings) and collect data from a variety of primary sources to address research questions. Findings, trends, and recommendations resulting from this preliminary research on preparedness impacts on localization should help inform and enhance preparedness practices within the RCRC Movement.
