تتبع المساعدات النقدية والقسائم
لتزم الموقعون على الصفقة الكبرى بزيادة استخدام المساعدات النقدية والقسائم، واستخدام علامات مشتركة لقياس هذه الزيادات. على الرغم من بدء تتبع حجم المساعدات النقدية والقسائم بشكل أكثر فعالية، إلّا أنه ثمة تحديات تقنية وسياسية. وهذا يضم ما يلي:
- تحديد البيانات التي يجب جمعها وطريقة القيام بذلك
- ضمان الالتزام باستخدام فئات وأنظمة البيانات
- معالجة أوجه القصور في أنظمة إعداد التقارير الحالية التي لم يتم تصميمها في كثير من الأحيان لتضمين أو تفصيل النقد والقسائم والطرائق الأخرى
- التوصل إلى اتفاق مشترك حول الفئات المعيارية للإبلاغ لتجنب البيانات غير الكاملة وغير المتسقة.
الأولويات الحالية
شاركت شبكة CALP، من عام 2017 إلى عام 2019، في قيادة مسار العمل الفرعي للصفقة الكبرى بشأن تتبع المساعدات النقدية والقسائم مع المديرية العامة للحماية المدنية الأوروبية وعمليات المساعدة الإنسانية، بهدف رئيسي يتمثل في الاتفاق على الحد الأدنى من المتطلبات لتتبع المساعدات النقدية والقسائم. يتضمن ذلك دمج المساعدات النقدية والقسائم في أنظمة ومنصات إعداد التقارير الرئيسية المشتركة بين الوكالات، أي خدمة التتبع المالي التابعة لمكتب تنسيق الشؤون الإنسانية ووحدة مشروع دورة البرمجة الإنسانية، ومعيار بيانات مبادرة الشفافية الخاصة بالمعونة الدولية، وإعداد تقارير 3W (وهي تتمثل في من الذي سيفعل وماذا سيفعل وأين سيفعل). تم الآن دمج مسار العمل الفرعي الخاص بتتبع المساعدات النقدية والقسائم في مسار العمل الفرعي للكفاءة والفعالية والقيمة مقابل المال، والذي ستستمر شبكة CALP في قيادته.
