Sphere Handbook Now Available in Kreyol Thursday, 2 September 2010, 9:43 pm
Imagine you are working in a setting affected by a natural disaster, conflict, or both. How would you determine the number of liters of water per day beneficiaries need? How many calories of food per day? How many latrines for how many people? What level of malnutrition signals an emergency? Look no further than the Sphere Handbook, a set of minimum standards and indicators that represents the strong consensus of the international humanitarian community on these and other issues. The handbook is a useful tool for planning, carrying out, and evaluating humanitarian assistance programs. As of today, it is available in Kreyol. Please share with your Haitian counterparts.Source: Haiti Innovation News/Actualités | Bryan Schaaf
