Any good? The IASC wants your opinion
NAIROBI, 23 October 2009 (IRIN) - The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), a grouping of UN and non-UN organizations that since 1992 has worked to harmonize humanitarian best practice, is conducting a review of its various policy statements, guidelines and manuals.

Until the end of October, anybody involved in the humanitarian world is invited to take part in brief surveys designed to gauge the overall familiarity, accessibility and utility of selected IASC products.

These include policy documents on civilian-military partnerships, assisting the elderly in humanitarian crises, and mental health and psycho-social support in emergency settings.

The surveys take 5-7 minutes to complete.
