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.

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
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 ... more

In fragile, conflict-affected and vulnerable settings, delivery of quality health services faces significant challenges, including disruption of a routine health service organization and delivery systems, increased health needs, complex and unpredictable resourcing issues, and vulnerability to multiple public health crises. Despite the difficulty of addressing quality in such settings, the necessity for action is acute, given the significant health needs of the populations in these environments and the increasing numbers of people for whom such settings are home. This manual has been developed to provide a starting point for multi-actor efforts and actions to address quality of care in the most challenging settings. This includes practical approaches to action planning and implementation of a contextualised set of quality interventions ... more
