* Co-Chair on behalf of InterAction.
* Focal point on mental health and psychosocial support in emergencies—with the IASC Task Force and other global initiatives.
* I have used Sphere guidelines in multiple sectors for years in my work with Christian Children’s Fund. Within CCF I have advocated consistently for the use of Sphere standards, and in various emergencies in different parts of the world, I have been part of coordination groups and training efforts to insure that Sphere standards are understood, widely available and used. I also use Sphere standards in my teaching at Columbia University since it’s crucial that the next generation of humanitarian workers be fully engaged in using the Sphere standards.
