ECB’s emphasis on collaboration is just what the humanitarian sector needs in order to best help those suffering from the consequences of disasters.

ECB is fully integrated into Save the Children's emergency programming. The Project has helped us advance our emergency response efforts through the development and improvement of tools, enhanced coordination amongst peer agencies, improved capacity of staff, dialogue with and exposure to a community of like-minded colleagues and opportunities for joint programming. Throughout the past year I have seen first hand the benefits of ECB related collaborative work from joint evaluations in Haiti, to beneficiary complaints mechanisms in Pakistan to emergency simulations and SPHERE trainings in Bangladesh.

Michael Klosson
Save the Children ECB Principal

Training and simulations are the best ways to learn proper emergency techniques and test how well we understand them without risking anybody’s well-being or life. The ECB Project does a great service to the humanitarian community, and its beneficiaries, by putting these aspects of staff capacity building at the forefront of agencies’ priorities.
