This publication on good practices and lessons learned are a collection of experiences of country offices in managing natural disasters. The experiences show how UNFPA guidelines in humanitarian situations have contributed to improving the ICPD (International Conference on Population and development) agenda. These experiences and practice make reference evidence-based tools, strategies, challenges and lessons learned in the course of life saving interventions in sexual and reproductive health and protection in different crisis settings in support of government efforts.
This publication is intended for use by humanitarian actors to improve standards of practice in crisis settings where, especially within the Africa region, the capacity for timely and appropriate response to the plight of disaster affected populations has remained a challenge.
