This Pocket Guide, prepared by the World Vision Asia Tsunami Response Office in
Singapore, is a shortened, easy reference booklet for field workers. It must not be used as a stand-alone document, and reference should be made to the full version of The Sphere Project 2004 Edition (download it from here).
Oxfam Publishing has just launched "Protection: An ALNAP Guide for Humanitarian Agencies". Protection is one of the cross-cutting issues of the Sphere Minimum Standards in Disaster Response.

The Sphere office delivered a presentation during the Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop lead by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) during 16-18 May 2006 in Geneva.
Come and join our new interactive website and become a member of the Sphere on-line Community – a Community dedicated to the Humanitarian Charter and the Minimum Standards in Disaster response.
Handbook on Education in Emergency is produced by the INEE. www.ineesite.org This is designed on sphere concept and you may easily adapt the education handbook and materials into a sphere education training module. I have designed and integrated education as part of my sphere training and audit. Integrate the module as part of the technical chapter and use the INEE handbook as extra materials.
What does compliance to Sphere mean? How does one measure compliance? How would a program auditor understand if the agency was complying to its implicit commitment to the Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards? Do you have any suggestions?
