Sheet 1: How to use the Virtual EFA
The Virtual Environmental Field Adviser | |||||||||||||
The Virtual Environment Field Adviser (Virtual EFA) aims to provide automated advice to facilitate the integration of environmental considerations in common humanitarian response planning and field-level response actions in most humanitarian sectors. The Virtual EFA, which is not an assessment tool but a simplified guide of low-cost actions to integrate the environment/humanitarian needs relationship, allows all programme managers to elaborate key environmental activities and indicators related to their sectors and sub-sectors, and identifying environmental and resilience-building benefits, while mitigating potential adverse effects. It also highlights the benefits of integrating environment into humanitarian response and the relationship between humanitarian needs and environmental factors causing or contributing to those needs. | |||||||||||||
