News from Sphere and HAP deployment in Haiti

The activities of Sphere and HAP to improve quality and accountability of the humanitarian response in Haiti are managed by DRSS (Disaster Response Support Services), an initiative of Bioforce and RedR .

We have the pleasure to inform that Ana Urgoiti and Rosario Iraola joined the Sphere deployment in Haiti in June.

Ana Urgoiti undertook a one-month mission from 9th June 2010. Her time was divided between Sphere and DRSS.

The Sphere component of her tasks were two-fold:
1/ To run Sphere training sessions from 10th June.
2/ To set up Sphere capacity development for the Department of Civil Protection (DCO)

Rosario Iraola, is in Haiti as a Sphere trainer/advisor for the DRSS program since 16th June, for 4 months.

Bioforce and RedR are looking for additional Sphere trainers to replace Ana Urgoiti at the DCO. Individuals interested in working in Haiti (even for a few weeks/months) and who have experience in training on Sphere, are invited to contact Bioforce:
