Tools and Lessons Learned in Addressing SRHR in Emergency Preparedness at the Community Level

11/5/2021
By IAWG Emergency Preparedness and Resilience Sub-Working Group, ACCESS Consortium, Women’s Refugee Commission, Family Planning Association of Nepal, and Rahnuma-Family Planning Association of Pakistan.

Overview

Globally, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that 168 million people need humanitarian assistance, and humanitarian needs are climbing at an unprecedented pace. If the international community is to successfully stretch limited resources to deliver life-saving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services to affected populations, it is critical that stakeholders inclusive of communities are better prepared to mitigate the impacts of disasters and to respond.
