UNICEF APPROACH TO

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS:

Emergency risk informed programming

General overview of UNICEF approach to preparedness

• Both humanitarian and development organisation, working in 130 countries on 5-year country programmes of cooperation with Governments based on UNDAFs with an agreed results matrix

• UNICEF undertakes specific activity planning in detailed rolling/annual workplans

• Building capacities on preparedness requires a long term development approach and thus needs to be integrated in regular country programmes so that they become Emergency Risk Informed

• The level of preparedness investment in country programmes will depend on the emergency risk exposure of the country

Emergency Risk Informed Country Programme: 5 years planning

Critical questions for an emergency risk-informed Sitan

a. Which significant hazards and threats pose the biggest risk to children and women? Where will these hazards happen? Who is the most vulnerable therefore the most affected? b. Why are these hazards affecting the most vulnerable with such force? What are the underlying and root causes of the vulnerabilities? c. Who or which individuals and/or institutions have the duty to reduce these risks? d. What capacities are needed to address the most likely and highest impact emergency risks?

Exposure Classification

Based on OCHA Global Focus Model with review from UNICEF Regional Offices

- For green countries (low exposure): Key Actions 1 to 10 are most critical

- For orange and red countries (middle to high exposure): all Key Actions are critical

Key action score determines the level of emergency response readiness (high-medium-low) wich is extracted to the
