CP - Key Lessons Learned

CP should not be a complex task undertaken only by specialists – simple, participatory, practical, realistic.

Preparedness actions that are identified as a result of the CP should be addressed. Regular updates, simulations.

Contingency planning should be done in the context of well articulated preparedness framework – not in isolation.

Senior managers and decision makers involvement/buy-in is essential during the process

Funding for contingency planning and preparedness should be considered a core organisational activity.

Joint scenario development and planning can lead to more coordinated and complimentary humanitarian action.


Contingency Planning

CP guide in the final stage of revision after last global workshop

Field tested in five countries and feedback being incorporated

Training package developed simultaneously

Interactive E-learning module on CP planned

Global RP group being set up and workshop planned


Global Response Preparedness Workshop

Finalise the CP guide and training material

Adopt the response preparedness matrix/ framework

Agree on the long term approach for CP and develop a plan of action

Select priority countries – practical CPs, Preparedness Plan

Simulation strategy – Global/Regional pool of Simulation Managers, National Level exercise

National response preparedness – NDRT, NDPRM etc

Performance and accountability indicators for dissemination of early warning against the actual preparedness action taken


WPNS

Develop baseline, indicators and measure impact with regards to EP initiatives (national, regional and global)

Knowledge sharing

Can be used as a tool for contingency planning

Harmonized and integrated approach to planning

Establish short, medium and long-term trends in relation to EP

Enables NSs to compare their status to global, regional and/or sub-regional trends
