The structure of these Iasc Guidelines is consistent with two previous Iasc documents: the Guidelines for HIV/AIDS interventions in Emergency settings (Iasc, 2003) and the Guidelines on Gender-Based Violence interventions in Humanitarian settings (Iasc, 2005). all three of these Iasc documents include a matrix, which details actions for various actors during different stages of emergencies, and a set of action sheets that explain how to implement minimum response items identified in the middle column (Minimum Response) of the matrix. The current guidelines contain 25 such action sheets (see chapter 3). |
