Trust Consultancy and Development is excited to invite you to its public webinar where we will be exploring the question: ‘How can we make Third Party Monitoring more authentic and local?’
The Webinar will take place on Novemeber 27th at 16:00 Turkey Time. You can find below more information on the session and speakers.
Recent years have witnessed a rise in donor usage of Third-Party Monitoring as a means of providing independent verification of results. The firms leading those contracts tend still to be based in global north. This event will start with a presentation from a paper funded by the EU which – in 2020 – raised TPM implementers’ thoughts around an evolution of TPM towards the global south, and go on to form a discussion around how – if at all – the humanitarian community can ‘nudge’ a future for TPM which is as authentic, and local as possible. You can access this paper here. The webinar will be guided by Richard Harrison, author of the paper, in dialogue with Volker Hüls, and the CEO of Trust Consultancy and Development, Youssef Almustafa.

Richard Harrison has worked as a MEL Advisor for the UN (Office of Counter Terrorism, OCHA), and the UK Government (Integrated Security Fund). He has lived and worked on MEL in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. He has designed Third Party Monitoring initiatives for the UK Government as part of multilateral efforts with UNDP and UN peacekeepers, and is the author of the EU’s guidance on best practice in Third Party Monitoring in conflict areas.
Volker Hüls is the Head of Effectiveness, Knowledge and Learning at the Danish Refugee Council (DRC). Based in their headquarters, he is globally responsible for several cross-cutting themes including Monitoring and Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning. With over twenty years in humanitarian organisations, including in the UN, and later work as a consultant specializing on evaluating larger humanitarian responses, he has encountered many facets of the more traditional approaches to third-party monitoring. At DRC, Volker is pursuing new approaches to monitoring in a more localized world, with the aim to shift the perspective of monitoring from a compliance process to one where the perspectives of communities and people of concern matter most when making decisions that affects them.
