Digital tools enable faster and more reliable communication, improving coordination and response between the organisation provided support, stakeholders, as well as the refugees. It enables organizations, stakeholders, and refugees to make better-informed decisions, based on up-to-date and verified information in a normal time, as well as in emergencies.

DECENTRALISED

This decentralized recognizes approach put a focus on the local authorities, NGOs and other stakeholders in a local level. The process of decentralization also allows bridge building between the organisation on a national level and the organisations on a local level, as well as more community participation. The decentralized actions requires a significant capacity building for the local actors.

The BCRM has an extended advocacy and capacity building focus covering both the national and the local level. The BCRM is providing a strategic support for the municipalities, local authorities, as well as NGOs and other local structures.

The BCRM actively cooperates with local structures and implement localized and regionalized activities in order to address the needs of the different contexts.

DIVERSE

The diversity in the humanitarian field brings many benefits, such as expanding the range of the advocacy and capacity building interventions. This approach can increase the effectiveness and sustainability of the support by extending the domain of actors and stakeholders, as well as include the refugees and the refugee-led structures in the process. Additionally, the diverse approach is involving local organizations or refugee led organisations that can bring a better understanding of the local context and increase the ownership of the refugee protection and integration process.

The BCRM is actively collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders, actors, stakeholders, as well as refugees and refugee led structures, which provides a better coordination and cooperation for the efficient implementation of the advocacy and capacity building efforts.

The BCRM is providing support and dialogue forums for the newly established organisations in the field including refugee led organisations for a better cooperation and transfer of knowledge, practice and experience.
