Эта методическая рекомендация предназначена для оказания содействия гуманитарным организациям, молодежным организациям и самим молодым людям, занимающимся разработкой и реализацией мер реагирования на новую коронавирусную пандемию на местном, страновом, региональном и глобальном уровнях во всех сферах жизни. Она начинается с диагностического анализа воздействия коронавирусного заболевания (COVID-19) на молодежь. Затем предлагается ряд мер, которые могут быть предприняты практическими работниками и молодежью для того, чтобы планы обеспечения готовности и меры реагирования на последствия COVID-19 носили инклюзивный характер, ориентированный на молодых людей, и были разработаны при их участии и в их интересах. Рекомендации выстроены вокруг пяти ключевых элементов Договора об участии молодежи в сфере гуманитарной деятельности: услуги, участие, потенциал, ресурсы и данные. Там, где это возможно, рекомендуемые действия подкреплены ресурсами и конкретными примерами, которые могут помочь в выработке подходов и в их реализации. Данный документ будет постоянно обновляться по мере развития пандемии в ближайшие недели и месяцы.

Опыт предыдущих вспышек инфекционных заболеваний указывает на то, что новые риски для защиты детей могут возникать как в результате прямого воздействия COVID-19, так и в результате мер по предотвращению и контролю его распространения. Кроме того, существующие риски для защиты детей, вероятно, будут усугублены. Некоторые группы людей более уязвимы в этих обстоятельствах, в том числе, как указано в данной Технической записке, дети, лишенные свободы, у которых зачастую возникают риски с вопросами психосоциального, физического и психического здоровья, которые живут в людных или негигиеничных условиях и больше подвержены жестокому обращению, насилию и халатному отношению. Technical note: COVID-19 and children deprived of their libert

Development Initiatives’ 2020 Global Humanitarian Assistance report reveals that in 2019 over one billion people were living in countries affected by long-term humanitarian crises such as conflict, displacement and natural disasters. In the same period international UN appeals hit a record high but international humanitarian funding dropped by $1.6 billion. Covid-19 is compounding these existing humanitarian challenges: 34 of the 63 countries that require humanitarian assistance to deal with the pandemic are in long-term humanitarian crisis. Despite these growing humanitarian needs, the harsh reality is that with the global economy under significant strain and donor governments facing increasing domestic costs, global aid is projected to decline further and faster

The present Community Empowerment Manual draws upon the lessons learned of the Community Protection Approach implementation in Lebanon, the occupied Palestinian territory and Central America during the period 2015-2020 by WeWorld – GVC and its partners. The Manual means to accompany Field Staff in devising the most appropriate strategy to engage with communities, given the conditions of access, security and time of the specific context in which a project is implemented. Even though the steps described proceed alongside the implementation of the Community Protection Approach, the manual has different sections providing guidance for the definition of engagement strategies in any context or project in question

MEDBOX Issue Brief no. 6 This issue brief gives you an overview of the most important documents on humanitarian aid and the WASH sector in MEDBOX

This checklist is the first step in identifying and prioritizing areas of action for improving the protection of health and safety of health workers in line with WHO–ILO Global Framework for National Occupational Health Programmes for Health Workers. It is designed to be filled out in discussion with management, responsible officers for occupational health, environmental health, infection prevention and control, human resources and representatives of workers in the health facility. This participatory approach will provide a variety of perspectives and a more comprehensive basis for identifying the existing preventive measures, possible problems and solutions for continuous improvement

Most shelters in the Caribbean are community centers, schools, or churches that are limited in size. The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) distancing requirements subsequently reduced the number of persons a shelter can accommodate during the hurricane season. This document reinforces some measures to follow per international emergency shelter protocols factoring in conditions for spacing between beds/cots, recreation areas and ventilation according to The Sphere Handbook, FEMA, and Australian Red Cross. Physical distancing and hygienic standards were modified highlighting that ideal requirements are not always feasible; therefore, we may choose realistic recommendations for practical purposes and suspected cases of COVID-19

The Basic Needs and Response Analysis Framework and Toolkit (known as the Framework & Toolkit) is part of the ECHO ERC funded project to increase the uptake of multi-purpose cash grants (MPGs) in emergency responses for more efficient and effective humanitarian action. MPGs are a powerful aid modality because of their efficiency and effectiveness. They can be combined with other assistance modalities to maximize the benefit for affected communities

Presently, there is no evidence that the virus responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic is carried by domestic food-producing animals, such as chickens, ducks, other poultry, pigs, cattle, camels, horses, sheep, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs or fish. While live animals can be a source of pathogens, all types of food can potentially be contaminated through contact with contaminated equipment, surfaces or environments. Proper cleaning and the prevention of cross-contamination are critical in the control of foodborne illnesses. The application of sound principles of environmental sanitation, personal hygiene and established food safety practices will reduce the likelihood that harmful pathogens will threaten the safety of the food supply, regardless of whether the food is sourced from intensive agriculture, small stakeholders or wildlife

Distributing immediate, lifesaving assistance is one of the most urgent actions in an emergency response and can significantly improve the safety and wellbeing of individuals. Non-Food Items (NFI), Food Security, WASH and Shelter in-kind assistance actors can help reduce and mitigate protection risks to individuals and communities when conducting distributions
