Tools to assess SRH preparedness and develop action plans IPPF/FP2020. 2020. MISP Readiness Assessment (MRA). The MISP Readiness Assessment (MRA) brings together government, UN, civil society, and private sector actors to assess their country’s readiness to implement the MISP during an emergency. The assessment outlines a process for identifying and prioritizing the areas to work on during preparedness to improve the ability to implement the MISP during response. The assessment can be used at both national and subnational levels to develop action plans. ACCESS Consortium. 2020. Community Capacity Needs Assessment Tools (CCNA). (currently in draft form) The Community Capacity Needs Assessment Tools encompass four tools for use at the community level to assess community assets and needs for MISP preparedness. The tools include: two key informant
tools for policy makers and health providers with an accompanying health facility assessment, and two focus group discussion tools for community health workers and community members. WRC/UNFPA. 2015. Facilitator’s Kit: Communitybased Preparedness for Reproductive Health and Gender. (currently being updated) In 2015 WRC and UNFPA developed a facilitator’s guide for community resilience-building for preparedness, piloted in the Philippines, Iraq, and Pakistan. An updated revision integrating lessons identified and pandemic preparedness was undertaken in mid-2020. IAWG. MISP Calculator. The MISP calculator is a spreadsheet that can be used to determine the demographics of an affected community and calculate its SRH needs, producing estimates that can be used for advocacy, fundraising, and program purposes.
SRH/preparedness frameworks, briefs, and guidance UNDRR. 2015. Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030). The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction is a seminal framework on disaster risk reduction and management and includes emergency preparedness. The framework outlines four priority areas, with SRH included under Priority #3 as a critical health service. All priority areas feed into emergency preparedness, with Priority #4 focusing on improving preparedness for a stronger response. Although not specific to SRH/health, the brief Enhancing Disaster Preparedness for Effective Response: Words in Action (2020) delves into preparedness implementation for response.
WHO. 2019. Health Emergency Disaster Risk Management Framework (Health-EDRM). This framework was developed by WHO to assist country level actors and illustrates principles, key components, and functions to achieve health emergency preparedness. SRH is listed as an essential service under “Health and other services.” There is also the WHO Glossary of health emergency and disaster risk management terminology. IAWG. 2020. Integrating sexual and reproductive health into emergency and disaster risk management for health: Policy Brief. (currently in draft form) This policy brief outlines the importance of SRH in
