Synopsis

The origins of the Minimum Economic Recovery Standards are rooted in past crises, such as the Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and the increasing prevalence of prolonged complex emergencies, such as in Ethiopia and Afghanistan. These crises highlight the need for strategies that 1) support the stabilization and/or re-emergence of enterprises as a source of income and employment for affected populations, and 2) support the development and strengthening of institutions to support the stabilization and coping mechanisms of households to weather these crises. The programmatic focus of the Minimum Economic Recovery Standards is on strategies and interventions designed to improve income, cash flow, asset management. These Standards were developed for practitioners experienced in humanitarian situations, but less familiar with economic recovery initiatives, or experienced in economic development, but unaccustomed to crisis environments, and those working in multiple sectors in crisis environments: health, education, infrastructure, or HIV and AIDS.
