We further support the establishment of working groups to develop practical solutions based on needs. Themes can include:

• Scaling up sectoral governance initiatives
• How to implement nexus approaches in different sectors: e.g. the Shelter/Housing sectors
• How to develop programmes across geopolitical lines
• How to rethink monitoring through a framework of accountability
• How can well-establish NGOs work with the grassroots, victims' associations, unions, and other CBOs

We facilitate and support joint initiatives working to bridge silos and develop cross sectoral and cross geographic collaborations.
