The Emergency Market Mapping and Analysis is an approach to assessing market systems in post-emergency context for encouraging and assisting relief agencies in better understanding the local market systems in the affected zone and how to make use of them. Although it was developed for the food security and livelihoods sector and has more recently also been used in WASH and Shelter sectors.

Concept on LRRD Linking Relief, Rehabilitation and Development

This document establishes the frame of reference for the systematic incorporation of the LRRD approach into the Swiss Red Cross (SRC)’s humanitarian aid operations, its re-construction/rehabilitation activities and its development cooperation programmes, and supplements their specific strategic- conceptual foundations. The concept is the outcome of broadly supported SRC internal processes and provides SRC international cooperation staff with guidelines for planning and implementing the LRRD approach in programmes. It also serves as a basis for dialogue within the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and with partner organisations, authorities and other interested institutions.

How to Make WASH Projects Sustainable and Successfully Disengage in Vulnerable Contexts

The research report is based on previous and current approaches of the ACF-IN Missions, from communities, a wide range of sector actors and from desk based research, as to the factors which affect sustainability, the major challenges, and examples of good practice. The aim of the manual is to document the learning and to share good practice within the ACF International Network, and outside where appropriate, on responding to sustainability in vulnerable contexts. The research has included four periods of field work in Lao PDR / Cambodia, Liberia, Northern Kenya and Colombia, selected to provide a range of contexts, challenges and examples of good practice.

Model Guidelines for Mainstreaming Water and Sanitation in Emergencies, Protracted Crises, LRRD and Disaster Preparedness Operations

These Model Guidelines have been developed to effectively understand and implement policy positions in practice. The guidelines draw on a wide range of experience in the sector, ranging from ECHO itself, NGOs, donors, and research institutes to UN agencies and the Red Cross Red Crescent movement. The Model Guidelines present lessons and good practice relating to a range of areas of intervention, including technical, institutional, and social aspects of service provision, as well as hygiene promotion and behavioural change. Wherever possible the guidelines draw on existing materials and information sources.

Contingency Planning Guide

These guidelines aim to ensure that Red Cross Red Crescent disaster response is consistent and of a high quality. This document provides an overview of the key elements of contingency planning. This guide is aimed at assisting National Society and IFRC staff responsible for developing contingency plans at the local, national, regional or global levels. It is essential to develop contingency plans in consultation and cooperation with those who will have to implement or approve them. This document provides guidelines, not strict rules; planning priorities will differ according to the context and scope of any given situation.

Introduction to the Kenya Initial Rapid Assessment (KIRA)

The aim of the KIRA is for a coordinated approach to assessments to cover the humanitarian community in Kenya, so that NGOS, UN, government, and donors and have a joint platform to share information, plans, best practice on assessments, reduce duplication of effort, use human and financial resources better, and capitalize on each other’s’ strengths. The inter-sector working group (ISWG) identified a gap in multi-sector assessment from the Real Time Evaluation (RTE) of the 2011 Horn of Africa drought. Addressing the gap of multi sector assessments was an agreed area of follow up to the RTE. A project was launched to support the development of a coordinated, multi sector rapid assessment mechanism, and this is how the Kenya Initial Rapid Assessment (KIRA) was born in response to expected election violence in 2013.
