In 2014, MSF negotiated and signed a Host Country Agreement (HCA) with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Undersecretary in order to mitigate the impact of the situation in the country on our activities as in recent years, MSF has faced increasing legal and administrative challenges.

- develop and facilitate networks and representation towards local institutions, international organizations and NGOs;
- develop and implement a communication strategy;
- monitor opportunities and take active measures to empower the HCA or foster MSF’s networking;
- streamline processes related to HR, Finance and Log/Supply linked to the HCA across all sections of MSF in the country;
- enhance and strengthen MSF on an intersectional level to ensure a common representation;
- prepare regular reports and meetings;
Legal Support related to the HCA:
- monitor and provide updates on the evolution of applicable laws and regulations and related impact;
