Tip
The Learning Objectives presented here are those worked out by the NGO representatives to the Simulations Project. You are encouraged to review and adjust them as needed to fit the needs of the staff participating in your simulation exercise. These needs should be identified when you conduct your training needs assessment (see the section on “Training Needs Assessment” in this Guide.)
Simulation #2: Multi-Agency Coordination Focus
Overall Aim
The overall aim of ECB Simulation #2 is to build the capacity of mid-senior level NGO staff to plan a coordinated, multi-agency response to an emergency situation.
Learning Objectives
After participating in ECB Simulation #2, participants should be able to:
- list the main challenges to the effective management of a coordinated, multi-agency response to emergency, and recommend actions/mechanisms to minimize their impact
- list the key aims, functions and responsibilities of an emergency coordination process, as well as the role that their agency would play in that process
- analyse and describe management behaviors that either foster or inhibit multi-agency collaboration and coordination
- describe the process of identifying key gaps in emergency sectors, activities, or tasks, and produce a gap identification sheet (also known as a responsibilities matrix) to track efforts to fill those gaps
- identify and apply international standards – e.g. Sphere, codes of conduct, humanitarian principles, etc. – to ensure that the agreed, coordinated response meets accepted standards
Audience
The primary target audience of ECB Simulation #2 is mid-senior level management staff of NGOs responsible for the various preparedness and response coordination mechanisms that their agencies have agreed to implement in times of crisis.
