La mise à disposition des vaccins, des tests et des médicaments disponibles peut prendre longtemps, même en cas d’urgence sanitaire comme la COVID-19. En vue de garantir à tous un accès rapide à ces produits, l’OMS a mis au point un protocole d’utilisation d’urgence, le protocole EUL. ...Son fonctionnement est présenté ici.more
ABSTRACT
Objectives: We developed COVID-19 Outbreak Simulator (https://ictr.github.io/covid19-outbreak-simulator/) to quantitatively estimate the effectiveness of preventative and interventive measures to prevent and battle COVID-19 outbreaks for specific populations.
Conducting simulations and drills is the most effective way to evaluate and test disaster preparedness plans; these exercises are used widely by organizations and institutions working in development and in disaster response. Drills and simulations are also excellent tools for training, and for asses...sing decision making processes, teamwork, and coordination.more
L’exercice COVID-19 de Table Top (TTX) est un outil qui a été développé pour aider les gouvernements et les organismes à renforcer les plans et les politiques dans le but d’identifier, de contenir l’apparation de cas de COVID-19 dans le pays. La simulation TTX est conçue pour soutenir l...utilisation de la « liste des repères de préparation opérationnelle pour COVID-19» (voir dans les documents de référence fournis). Cet exercice utilise un scénario commençant avec un cas importé, comme base pour une discussion détaillée guidée par le facilitateur de l’exercice.more
L'exercice de table COVID-19 (TTX) est un package de simulation qui utilise un scénario progressif ainsi qu'une série d'injects spécifiques pour permettre aux participants de considérer l'impact potentiel d'une épidémie sur les plans, procédures et capacités existants. Le TTX a pour objectif... de renforcer les niveaux nationaux de préparation au coronavirus grâce à une série de discussions de groupe facilitées.more

The companion Handbook on Humanitarian Access presents the normative framework pertaining to humanitarian access in situations of armed conflict, and therefore serves as a useful reference source for humanitarian practitioners on the normative framework.
This initial version of the Field Manual –... labeled Version 1.0 – was elaborated by Conflict Dynamics International in collaboration with the FDFA and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Development of the structured approach and guidance contained in this Manuel
involved a consultation process which included bilateral meetings with humanitarian organizations, regional consultation events and consultations during several field visits, including dedicated field missionsmore
