  11. Why the SPRINT IIInitiative? • Part of a major inter-agency effort to protect women from violence in emergency situations, address emergency preparedness, as well as ensure minimal and more comprehensive responses to integrating sexual and gender-based violence prevention and responses into all humanitarian work However there is still a lot to do … (VULNERABILITYHAZARD) MITIGATION RISK

  12. How it works …

  13. DRR - Enabling Environment • Objective: The policy and funding environment is increasingly supportive of SRH in crisis settings Preparedness-Capacity Development Objective: Increased national capacity to coordinate the implementation of the MISP in humanitarian settings GOAL: To increase timely access for crisis affected populations to life-saving sexual and reproductive health services as outlined in the MISP SPRINT Management and Organisation Objective: To deliver a well managed program, underpinned by robust internal systems, monitoring and evaluation and lessons learned Emergency Response Objective: Country Coordination Team able to respond effectively in a timely manner during a crisis

  14. How the SPRINT II Initiative operates • increases regional capacity to coordinate and implement the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for Reproductive Health • supports advocacy to governments and organisations to integrate sexual and reproductive health into their emergency response plans.
