Report of a Workshop on Tracking Health Performance and Humanitarian Outcomes

A technical consultation workshop on Tracking Health Performance and
Humanitarian Outcomes was organized by WHO on behalf of the Inter-Agency Standing
Committee (IASC) in Geneva on 1-2 December 2005. This report1 highlights issues that
emerged from the expert papers, presentations and discussions, and ways to address
them. It concludes with proposals for next steps in the eventual implementation of a
Health and Nutrition Tracking Service that will enable the assessment and monitoring of
the severity of humanitarian crises and responses, on a consistent system-wide basis.
