This document encapsulates PMI’s journey in advocating disaster law for better legislation.
This case study describes PMI’s effort to increase preparedness. Starting from 2013, Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) committed to develop SOP and Contingency Plan on providing humanitarian services in conflict situation. This is conducted with the support of ICRC. The SOP triggered PMI to further strengthen its capacity on providing assistance in insecure and sensitive context through the application of Safer Access Framework.
The Minimum Standard Commitments for each sector are based around a framework of: dignity; access; participation; safety; and internal protection systems. The checklist provides specific indicators which an organisation can use to rate its progress (achieved, partially achieved, not achieved and not applicable), justify its score and propose next steps. This checklist provides a quick tool for assessing compliance with the Minimum Standard Commitments in Emergency Programming for Red Cross / Red Crescent staff and volunteers in: emergency health; food security; water, sanitation and hygiene; emergency shelter; livelihoods; non-food items and disaster risk reduction. It serves as a tool for organisations to mark progress and identify their next steps.
