The IASC Principals have confirmed that the IASC/interagency coordination system will undergo accelerated transitions in Cameroon, Colombia, Eritrea, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe. Three other countries (Ukraine, Mozambique, and Chad) remain on a list of potential deactivations, with a decision expected in June.

NRC organized internal discussions with affected Country Offices and Regional Offices to enable them to exchange with one another, share reactions and reflections for the future, and jointly brainstorm next steps. The following is a summary of the main ideas and proposals from those discussions, focused first on countries when an accelerated transition is already confirmed, then turning to the three that are still pending, followed by next steps from the global level.
