This document, developed by Catholic Relief Services, is intended to provide information for country program staff and others who work with or who are planning to work with volunteers in their programs. It is not meant to be prescriptive, but rather to be a guide which is to be adapted to local contexts.
The purpose of this tool is to obtain a quick understanding of the emergency food security and livelihood situation, within the first few days after a rapid-onset disaster. The tool is independent of other multi-sectoral assessments and collects information only on food security and livelihoods (EFSL).
This study seeks to contribute to improved humanitarian leadership by considering the factors that make humanitarian leadership successful, and identifying actions that actors within the humanitarian system can take to improve the quality of leadership in humanitarian responses. It focuses specifically on the operational level of leadership.
This toolkit provides any team member, manager or external facilitator with exercises they can use to develop trust in a new team or to enhance trust later in a team's existence
