Overview

These recommendations are strategically organized according to the Stages of SRH Preparedness: Initiating, Assessing, and Implementing.

Stage 1 Initiating SRH Preparedness

To effectively use and evaluate MISP (Massive Incident Surveillance Post), combining it with assessment tools is important. This involves systematically organizing and monitoring preparedness efforts, conducting regular evaluations to measure progress, and maintaining ongoing effectiveness.

Contextual Considerations

Inclusive and Rights-Based Approach

Tailoring for Accessibility

Policy Integration

Stage 2 Assessing SRH Preparedness

At this stage, it is crucial to establish or strengthen coordination bodies like the SRH working group or sub-cluster. These entities play a vital role in bringing together stakeholders from emergency and disaster management, SRH, and other related areas. By working collaboratively, these bodies improve SRH preparedness and overall coordination.

Establishing Coordination Bodies

Building a Trained Workforce

Securing Funding for Preparedness

Stage 3 Implementing SRH Preparedness

Clear and timely communication is crucial for SRH care. Develop communication mechanisms and IEC materials to provide accurate information to affected communities. Empower first responders to reinforce these messages.
