•

  Background

  
  

The Regional Resource Mobilization Strategy was developed based on the Global
Resource Mobilization Strategy, GPW ‎13, EMR vision ‎2023, as well as existing
and future donor trends. The strategy is a living document and will continue
to be updated according to global priorities.
Having a dedicated RM team in EMRO, the regional office is expected to be
better supported to respond to the needs of EMR populations and fulfil the
organization's mandate, stemming from the belief that the regional office (RO)
is suited to the region given geographical, political, and cultural proximity
to the populations it serves.
With EMR witnessing a high level of fragile, conflict and vulnerable countries
(around ‎54% fragile countries), the role of the WCOs in the EMR is not fully
normative in nature. In a number of these WCOs there is a need to fund raise
and the region needs supportive capacity to develop results-oriented proposals
outlining what its measuring.
There is a need to package the ‎7 regional priorities and leverage our value
proposition based on the regional resolutions that were agreed upon by the
member states then use them as a driving force for future partnerships and
resource mobilization efforts.
In addition, at the country office level, with COVID-‎19 resources in decline
there is a need to reorient and to continue obtaining support and provide
capacity building directed towards proposal and report writing, which will
help in repositioning of WCOs.
