MERS is possible through the generous support of USAID’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. OFDA helps prepare for, respond to, and recover from humanitarian crises. OFDA also works with the international humanitarian community to give vulnerable populations resources to build resilience and strengthen their own ability to respond to emergencies.
The MERS are a member of the Humanitarian Standards Partnership (HSP) which aims to improve the quality and accountability of humanitarian action through an increased application of humanitarian standards. The partnership is comprised of six standards initiatives, which in addition to the MERs include: Sphere, the Child Protection Minimum Standards, the Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards, the INEE Minimum Standards for Education, the Minimum Standards for Market Analysis, and the Humanitarian Inclusion Standards for Older People and People With Disabilities.
Mainstreaming MERS partners are at the forefront of market aware programming, ensuring that the MERS are understood, valued, and applied at the institutional level.
Mainstreaming MERS partnerships are designed to support organizations to integrate MERS into organizational practices, promote uptake of MERs among technical sectors, and disseminate successful applications of MERS in a variety of contexts. The partnerships are also built on a model of sustained learning facilitated through a MERS opportunity analysis; a MERS workshop customized for the organization; and a cross-organizational peer learning network.
The SEEP Network thanks the individuals and organizations for their time and expertise that helped shape the Minimum Economic Recovery Standards, 3rd Edition. Without their contributions, the MERS would not be possible.
