MEAL in Emergencies online course

This 7-hour online course series from Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is an interactive learning tool designed by the Humanitarian Response Department for staff and partners to have the knowledge, skills and attitudes to establish a dynamic and responsive MEAL system in the earliest phase of an emergency response.

A MEAL system in emergencies is essential for an appropriate and relevant response, and ensures accountability to those we serve. In this interactive learning tool, you will see and hear examples from your peers from diverse backdrops, about challenges they have faced and practices they have learned that have contributed to a meaningful impact for a quality emergency response. The insight and learning are relevant to today’s rapidly-changing environments, and designed to be adaptable to the diverse backdrops of your country program and local contexts.

The course series consists of 8 building block units and 5 simulation exercise units in which you will be guided through learning segments that will allow you to put into practice the knowledge, skills and attitudes you learned in the building blocks: namely Accountability, Analysis & Use, Indicators, Learning Events, Monitoring Methods, Resources, Sampling, Tools.
