Plan International UK has committed to the Humanitarian inclusion standards for older people and people with disabilities, as companion standards to Sphere, and commit to support their rollout and uptake as minimum standards to be incorporated across our regional and country office approaches to humanitarian response.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
We will support the rollout of the standards as part of plans to contribute to the realisation of 100 Million Reasons, Plan International’s Global Strategy, by 2022, which we will monitor progress against.
Plan International UK is supporting the revision of an emergency response manual to incorporate disability inclusion and outline minimum expectations, to ensure our programmes are in line with minimum SPHERE humanitarian inclusion standards. This tool for frontline staff and country offices will provide support to implement the basics from the start of each humanitarian response. It will incorporate guidance on sex, age and disability-data disaggregation in cross-over with our guidance note as mentioned above.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
This will be implemented as part of plans to contribute to the realisation of 100 Million Reasons, Plan International’s Global Strategy, by 2022, which we will monitor progress against.
