A good article on the Grand Bargain's progress is Hunting for the Grand Bargain - Fixing emergency aid, one committee at a time (Louise Redvers, March 22, 2017).
A detailed progress on each work stream is in a briefing paper by global NGO network ICVA.
It found that, one year on, most work streams are still at the stage of mapping their topics and commissioning reports and surveys to understand the status quo and create baselines.
