Key lessons include the importance of building new structures upon and in coordination with existing groups, networks and authorities; the importance of intensive capacity building support, providing ongoing technical support and monitoring in the initial phase of the response; as well as the need to establish a clear and confidential reporting and recording system for each CPC.
