Save the Children’s origins lie in emergency response, and this has remained central to our work ever since. Our approach integrates our emergency and development work, through our country programmes. With the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies world-wide the organisation is increasing its capacity to support programmes in both sudden onset and chronic emergency situations.
Our Emergency Response Team is a team of highly motivated, internationally roving, experts who are deployed on short to medium term assignments to respond effectively to emergencies world-wide. They give immediate emergency focused financial & award management expertise in responses, add to capacity when we 'scale up' country programmes, and advice and training where needed to build ability in individuals and country programmes.
