The 2018 edition presents a revised approach that includes an in-depth analysis of five core capabilities that have been identified in past National Preparedness Reports as facing persistent challenges: Operational Coordination, Infrastructure Systems, Housing, Economic Recovery, and Cybersecurity.

Source: International Rescue Committee (IRC). Published: 11/8/2018. This seven-page report details the need to deliver contraception in the “spaces in between” in humanitarian settings – where traditional approaches to health system strengthening are inadequate. As the number of people in humanitarian settings grows, there is a critical need for practical examples of how to effectively deliver contraception at every stage of crisis, from emergency preparedness to emergency response and recovery. The report is a synthesis of approaches that have worked and, if replicated and taken to scale, can meet the needs of the millions of women and girls across the humanitarian-development nexus. (PDF)
