Guiding Framework for MHPSS in Development Cooperation – As exemplified in the context of the crisis in Syria and Iraq

This guiding framework is a contextually adapted, joint position paper for German development cooperation that reflects the current status of the debate among the institutions and experts involved as to what constitutes good psychosocial work with refugees and IDP, and what risks need to be taken into account in the course of that work. It is designed for actors in the MHPSS sector who are working with refugees and IDP in the Middle East in the context of the Syria and Iraq crises, as well as ministries and research institutions. It should be understood as a basic document offering guidance on the design, planning, implementation, and evaluation of activities.
