Inter Agency Early Warning and Contingency Planning
The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) is the primary mechanism for inter-agency coordination of humanitarian assistance. It is a unique forum involving the key UN and non-UN humanitarian partners.
The Early Warning – Early Action Report is presented to the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) as a tool to foster enhanced inter-agency early warning and preparedness to meet the demands of potentially new humanitarian crises or dramatic changes in existing ones. The report is aimed explicitly at highlighting those crises for which additional inter-agency action is deemed necessary within the coming 0-6 months timeframe based on assessments and judgments provided by staff of IASC member agencies at field and HQ levels. A checklist of ‘Minimum Preparedness Actions’ to directly link situations/ countries of concern to actual preparedness actions on the ground has been linked below.
