Training on Minimum Standards for Displacement Sites

Module 9. Coordinating services and monitoring needs

The module aims at improving learners' ability to coordinate services and monitor needs in order to provide better support to displaced people in the Ukraine humanitarian response.

Module description

This module provides an overview of the minimum standards concerning site service coordination, monitoring and reporting. The module explores how to coordinate services to meet the needs of displaced and host populations (standard 4.1) and how this links to the principles of partnership; and how to assess, monitor and report on the site population's needs (standard 4.2). The module explores how to apply these standards in the Ukraine humanitarian response. 

There are no pre-requisites for this module, but it is recommended that learners are familiar with the purpose and core content of the Minimum Standards before attending the module.  Learners who wish to deepen their understanding before participating in this module are encouraged to watch the video 'Supporting displaced populations in the Ukraine humanitarian response: An introduction to the minimum standards for displacement sites' and participate in the module 'Supporting displaced populations in the Ukraine humanitarian response: Using the Minimum Standards in practice'.

This module is a facilitated module which uses participatory methods. It is expected that learners will participate in discussions and activities in order to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are discussed. Participants will be offered opportunities to share relevant personal experiences and reflections to benefit their own and others' learning.  At the end of the module, participants will be provided with a summary of key messages from the module and a list of relevant resources.
