GHRP Launched in March, updated on a monthly basis. Captures: Immediate humanitarian needs of COVID 19 Not the indirect, social, macroeconomic consequences Ongoing country-level adjustments to the needs analysis and response. Address the needs of the most vulnerable populations. Readiness , preparedness for possible outbreaks and operational context. 3 priorities: Contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and decrease morbidity and mortality Decrease the deterioration of human assets and rights, social cohesion and livelihoods Protect, assist and advocate for most vulnerable (IDPs , Migrants, refugees ) to the pandemic.
Country HRP revision Objective : Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to existing needs, are addressed in the ongoing humanitarian response. Revision involves : o Reprioritizing activities (including putting on hold some activities); o Adapting existing activities to operate under new constraints . o Aligning the HRP with country COVID-19 Preparedness and Response plans Approach and scope : Integrated into existing sections of the original HRP document COVID-19-specific addendum to the HRP,
Country HRP revision-Considerations Prioritisation of existing activities : o Existing activities may be unchanged, scaled-down or paused for the remainder of the year. o Reflect on how COVID might affect the implementation of these existing activities are doable in the new operating environment. o Which of your continued existing activities are also supportive of the COVID response. Include new activities : o Directly targeting COVID-19 needs o Can be activities which were not included in original 2020 HRP because COVID-19 was not an issue then. o Scale up COVID -19 relevant existing activities. o Existing activities that are being extended to new caseloads o Are being scale-up beyond what was originally proposed in the HRP.
Country HRP revision-Considerations Data Sources : o New assessment if available. o Where there is no new assessment to rely on, make use of secondary data and data from similar pandemics in other parts of the world to inform their analysis. o Revised Needs Analysis o Revision of the HNO not required. o A more limited review of needs analysis to guide priority decisions is required. o This will be done under the framework of country specific HNO needs indicators. o Do a desk review of the figures that were used against the indicators in original HNO/ HRP and update them with newly available data or explain in a narrative format the direction you each indicator has moved in light of COVID-19. o This will help in calculating revised PIN and targeting.
PIN Existing PIN + Health PIN + Additional people expected to become acutely vulnerable because of COVID.
Nutrition Specific considerations 1 NUTRITION ACTIONS TO BE - - - Put on hold Add Adapt/update EFFECTS DIRECT INDIRECT - Healthy vs SAM children - - - Long term impact Uncertainty Variables (SES, social services, healthcare system, age distribution )
Nutrition Specific considerations 2 EFFECT ON UNDERNUTRITION PERCENTAGES AND NUMBERS - - - - - Increase in admissions because Decrease in admissions because Prevalence? Cases with complications IYCF Recommendations: - - No one size fits all for actions, adapatations, impact Consider the multiple variables that may affect prevalence as well as access, demand Consider the changes over the short medium and long terms -
