IFRC - Emergency Need Assessment and Planification Trainings

The IFRC wanted to prepare its intervention teams for emergency deployment. Our experts trained volunteers and staff from National Societies in Niger, Madagascar, Seychelles, Comoros, Mauritius, La Réunion and Mayotte in emergency needs assessment, using field simulations, workshops and debates on aid distribution standards, targeting beneficiaries and complaints management.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) was seeking to organize a training on emergency response to reinforce their intervention teams so that they are better prepared to be deployed during an emergency. Experts in humanitarian deployment and emergency assistance of Relief Applications conducted several trainings with volunteers and staff members of 5 Red Cross / Red Crescent National Societies participants (Niger, Madagascar, Seychelles, Comoros, Mauritius and La Réunion + Mayotte) on Emergency Need Assessment, from planification to the deployment and work in the field during an emergency response. The training included lessons and workshops to help the participants to auto-evaluate and update their practices including: - Standards of aid distribution - Sensibilisation during emergencies - Targeting a selection of beneficiaries - Evaluations pre-distribution - Logistics most common issues during a distribution - Complaints management during the distribution

The challenge

  • Prepare and contextualise emergency operations
  • Prepare the team to make quick decisions while working in the field
  • Encourage the cross-learning between the teams

What we did

  • Simulation of emergency action in the field
  • Formation in adaptation of the mission to the communities needs
  • Workshops and debates which encourage communication and flexibility
