Sub-Working Group on Emergency Preparedness and Resilience

The Emergency Preparedness and Resilience (EPR) Sub-Working Group is a dedicated group of IAWG members, who seek to support the integration of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) into the preparedness efforts of humanitarian and development actors to improve the delivery of life-saving aid during conflict and disaster.

1. Build knowledge among global stakeholders about the critical role that sexual and reproductive health plays within any emergency response and the benefits of investing in sexual and reproductive health preparedness
2. Collectively identify needs, resources and gaps in the area of sexual and reproductive health preparedness
3. Identify and advocate for sexual and reproductive health preparedness actions among both humanitarian and development actors operating in contexts of instability
4. Forge partnerships across diverse actors (e.g. government, civil society, NGOs), and sectors working on preparedness and resilience building
5. Collaborate on the development and dissemination of pragmatic tools and related learnings that support sexual and reproductive health preparedness at country and organizational levels
