The whole debate around NGOization is key - what are the advantages and disadvantages around promoting institutionalization - clarity of vision is needed.

Momentum around localization, locally led development is a key opportunity to fund RLOs. How are we pushing for flexible, better quality funding? For those who are not using the localization framework, using a different framing - social protections? - with a similar intent.

25% Grand Bargain: The call for target setting - how do you hold people accountable for what they say they are going to do?

Capacity-Building Initiatives: Empowering Refugee-Led Organizations with the necessary skills for effective fund management is a key priority. Capacity-building programs are essential to equip these organizations with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate financial complexities, ensuring the optimal utilization of resources and enhancing their overall impact.

Need more solution seeking approaches through financing/tech - this is going to benefit efforts. Coming together, align thoughts and push boundaries and shape solutions is helpful in the context where the solution seems to be limited, but there are more creative ways to be explored.

We need to be continiously adapative.

How excluded RLO's are but also some very exciting and innovative examples of RLO funding

Over 60% of Hilton's funding has gone to RLO's and share our experience on how we do that.

Emphasis on supporting movements who are at the forefront. The Refugee protection sector needs a shift where the leaders need to shift from the global north. Important to have this conversation with Funders

Within organizations have more refugee leadership in not a tokenistik way.

The GRF is a key opportunity and the localization pledge could be a very key opportunity.

Nuanced conversation on risk and determination of what’s a risk concern and what’s a risk perception: What do we all mean by risk? Where does this definition come from? Is anyone willing to shift from the framing of this from negative to positive? Why does the risk framework hold different standards for different organizations.

Transparency on constraints on all sides

What is holding each other back

Iterative: Flexible funding mechanisms need the nuance of looking at what is permitted infrastructure wise - for example, hiring the right people. Can we start looking at as investments, not funding. This implies we have a number of things we need to do, and it is a more transactional framing. So we have a funding mindset, not an investment mindset.

Language as power:

How do we feel about reclaiming language - "investments" considered as a private sector term.

Funding/ Grants

Grantee Partners? Partners?

Investments?

Decolonizing language

RLO existential impermanence

Flexibility in Financing Mechanisms: Emphasizing the importance of flexible financing mechanisms is paramount. This involves tailoring funding approaches to align with the unique needs of Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs). By acknowledging and accommodating the specific challenges faced by RLOs, we can create financial frameworks that are more adaptive and responsive to their operational realities.
