The Humanitarian Agents (HAs), are among the first entities dealing with the impacts of natural and man-made disasters. This is more than essential in areas, where the National governments and associated economies are either overwhelmed to respond or unprepared to act. Under such pressing conditions, the agents, as any other similar entity, depend on a variety of monitoring and assessment tools in order to reach the most suitable decisions per case. These tools are mostly employed for the scope definition and the content of their responses, the communication of the information among the various agents, and the reporting to their donors and other beneficiaries. To this end, several field tools have been developed worldwide. Building on such a background, the present effort describes a new tool and it argues towards the development and implementation of a WASH related Composite Index. The purpose of the Index is to facilitate the WASH related assessments in refugee camps, by capturing and reflecting the actual WASH conditions and provide the necessary information for efficient program planning and implementation. Starting with Europe and specifically the humanitarian camps in Greece, the development of the Index may allow its worldwide application, while adhering to the necessary and essential standards that govern the work of all HAs operating in the sector.

水,卫生与卫生(WASH)指数:欧洲人道主义集中营WASH服务水平的开发和应用

人道主义机构(HAs)是最早处理自然灾害和人为灾害影响的实体。在国家政府和相关经济体不堪响应或不准备采取行动的地区,这是至关重要的。在这种紧迫的条件下,代理人与其他任何类似实体一样,都依赖于各种监视和评估工具,以便针对每种情况做出最合适的决定。这些工具主要用于范围定义及其响应的内容,各种代理之间的信息交流以及向其捐助者和其他受益者的报告。为此,全世界已经开发了几种现场工具。在这样的背景下,目前的工作描述了一种新工具,并且它致力于开发和实施与WASH相关的综合指数。该指数的目的是通过捕获和反映WASH的实际情况,并促进有效的计划规划和实施,为难民营中的WASH相关评估提供便利。从欧洲开始,特别是从希腊的人道主义营地开始,该指数的发展可能使其在全球范围内得到应用,同时遵守管理该行业所有房委会工作的必要和必要标准。通过捕获和反映实际的WASH条件,并为有效的计划制定和实施提供必要的信息。从欧洲开始,特别是从希腊的人道主义营地开始,该指数的发展可能使其在全球范围内得到应用,同时遵守管理该行业所有房委会工作的必要和必要标准。通过捕获和反映实际的WASH条件,并为有效的计划制定和实施提供必要的信息。从欧洲开始,特别是从希腊的人道主义营地开始,该指数的发展可能使其在全球范围内得到应用,同时遵守管理该行业所有房委会工作的必要和必要标准。
