Translation and interpretation
Humanitarian Response Plans (HRPs) are required for any humanitarian crisis requiring the support of more than one agency and are prepared by Humanitarian Country Teams (HCTs). Humanitarian response plans are primarily management tools for the humanitarian coordinator (HC) and HCT. In addition, they can be used to communicate the scope of the response to an emergency to donors and the public, and thus serve a secondary purpose for resource mobilization.
Volunteers: 25 needed
