In a fast-changing world where the growing number of crises, both natural and man-made, is leaving more people in need of help than ever before, and faced with increased competition for vital funding, WFP needs to do more with less, and to do it quickly and efficiently. Emergency preparedness has been proven to facilitate a fast, coordinated and cost-effective response. This revised EPRP manual reflects a number of changes to WFP’s operational and programmatic position over the last five years. This includes reflecting the requirements of new working modalities such as cash-based transfers (CBT), incorporating the three WFP-led and co-led clusters, introducing additional elements into the risk analysis and providing an updated list of requirements instrumental to nutrition programming, at both the preparedness and response levels. Lastly, this updated EPRP seeks to ensure alignment with the Inter-Agency Emergency Response Preparedness approach, which has been accomplished through consultations with the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Task Team on Preparedness and Resilience (TTPR).
