Collaboration with the British Red Cross

16/11/2017

Groupe URD is providing support to the British Red Cross as part of its work with the Disaster Management Unit of the Lebanese Red Cross. The aim of this support work is to strengthen the quality and accountability of the Disaster Management Unit’s activities, by consolidating planning, monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning practices (PMEAL).

Our support will focus on the following three areas:

An initial analysis of the Unit’s existing practices during their engagement with communities and populations affected by crisis.
Defining and prioritising, in a participatory manner, the minimum commitments of action for planning, monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning.
Drafting a short- and medium-term action plan to implement these commitments in an optimal way.

The Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS) will be used as a framework for this work. This experience will therefore also serve as a pilot for the practical application of the CHS in field practice.

This consultancy includes two field missions to Lebanon, one in December 2017 and the second in January 2018.
