Coordination --- My experience is that all the response work on this protracted conflict in Syria specifically between 2011-2016 was a good example. All the IFRC and ICRC work on Public and Private HD played an important role in drawing focus to building SARC's capacities and transferring it from a small entity to the the NS leading response to one of the biggest crisis in recent history. SARC's grass roots and base of local volunteers was crucial in building trust and gaining access event to areas under siege.
