The Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings with Means of Verification: Version 2.0
This document provides guidance in the assessment, research, design, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of MHPSS programmes in emergency settings. Although designed specifically for emergency contexts (including protracted crises), the framework may also be applicable for the transition phases from emergency to development (including disaster risk reduction initiatives). The framework assumes familiarity with the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings and an understanding of programming in humanitarian relief and/or development. The content of the current publication, including the selection of tools and guidance for means of verification (MoV), was also developed by the IASC MHPSS RG.
