What is the Emergency Capacity
Building (ECB) Project?
Disasters and emergencies are
increasing in frequency and severity,
threatening lives and livelihoods
across the world, and endangering
years of investment in development
and poverty reduction.
To tackle this challenge, six global
humanitarian
agencies
CARE,
Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Mercy
Corps, Oxfam, Save the Children and
World Vision, started working together
in 2005 to improve the ability of the
humanitarian community to save lives,
improve the welfare, and protect the
rights of people in emergency
situations.
Joint initiatives are coordinated under
these cross-cutting themes:
1. National Staff Development - ww.ecbproject.org/staffcapacity
2. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) - www.ecbproject.org/riskreduction
3. Accountability - www.ecbproject.org/accountability
The ECB Project operates at three levels of the humanitarian
system:
1. In the field Activities in ECB consortia countries include accountability training, coordinated /
joint needs assessments (JNAs), management and leadership development programs, and
joint evaluations. www.ecbproject.org/in-the-field
2.
Across global organizations Each ECB agency reviews their capacity for emergency
preparedness and response by utilizing ECB Project assessment tools and methods.

3. Through sector partnerships Many wider processes of reform and change are underway in the
humanitarian sector. Through strategic partnerships, the ECB Project is supporting the testing
and refinement of sector-wide approaches and standards in the field.

Technical advisors and field teams work together to develop resources, pilot
joint programs, and strengthen staff skills under the project themes
The ECB Project agencies are working toward a sustainable, long-term process of capacity
building. In order to deliver the shared goals:
•
Multi-agency technical teams work together to create
practical resources, training materials, and new
program approaches.
•
Humanitarian personnel, technical specialists, and
senior management provide training to improve the
leadership and core skills of agency staff to be able to
effectively respond to emergencies.
•
Five ECB Field Consortia learn, develop and test
resources and training programs together, and share
new knowledge and best practices with partners,
government representatives, and other NGOs.
ECB Project Consortia Countries
ECB Consortia are located in Bangladesh, Bolivia, the Horn of Africa, Indonesia, and Niger.
The five ECB Consortia are comprised of some or all of the six ECB agencies, in partnership with other NGOs,
local partners, communities, UN institutions, government representatives, and academics. Each
consortium develops joint activities and tests ECB project tools and approaches to improve national and
field level emergency preparedness and response.
Some examples of these activities include:
• Support the development and field testing of practical tools and guidelines.
• Develop core humanitarian skills and leadership competencies of existing
staff at the country level
• Deliver accountability training and share learning from field programs.
• Coordinate and support joint needs assessments and joint evaluations.
• Work with national governments and UN institutions to support disaster policies
and programs.
• Arrange cross-consortia learning visits to exchange program and collaboration learning.

ECB Phase II Goal
Improved speed, quality, and effectiveness
of the humanitarian community to save lives,
improve the welfare, and protect the rights of
people in emergency situations.
Objectives
1. Improve field-level capacity to prepare for and
respond to emergencies in disaster prone countries.
2. Increase the speed, quality, and effectiveness of
emergency preparedness and response mechanisms
within and across IWG agencies.
3. Contribute to improving the sector’s emergency
preparedness and response through collective
dialogue, knowledge sharing, learning, and
collaborative work with other partners and
organizations.
Result: 1.2
By 2013, at least 70% of consortium member
organisations in all 5 consortia will have demonstrated that
they are using practical tools to meet sector standards and
organisational standards in accountability, especially in
relation to beneficiaries.
70% (baseline 35%) of participating organisations include
accountability in performance management of staff.
84% - Target Met
70% (baseline 28%) of participating organisations
systematically use formal, appropriate and robust
complaints/feedback mechanisms.
77% - Target Met
80% (baseline 68%) of participating organisations are
systematically transparent with beneficiaries.
93% - Target Met
70% (baseline 36%) of participating organisations
demonstrate systematic participation of the affected
population.
83% - Target Met
80% (baseline 45%) of participating organisations
demonstrate systematic design, monitoring and evaluations
for each response.
