ECB Project Case Study
Playing with Reality: The ECB experience using emergency simulations to improve humanitarian response
The final evaluation of ECB Phase 1 acknowledged the importance of emergency simulations as a practical preparedness tool that provides a safe space for humanitarian agencies to build staff capacity to respond to emergency situations.
The ECB Project simulations case study focuses on the learning from implementing the ECB Project multi-agency simulations at the national level between April 2010 and March 2012, using the ECB Simulations Administrators Guide.
The case study is also available in French and Spanish. Visit our ECB case study library.
