The Interagency Working Group (IAWG) is looking for consultants to assess the conformity to Sphere standards of a Fida International (Finnish NGO) project in Uganda. Read the Terms of Reference.

The Sphere Project is supporting, in close collaboration with HAP International, the Nargis cyclone emergency response in Myanmar since early July 2008. Kelly Wooster, Annie Lloyd (two Sphere international consultants) and Shabana Bhatti from CWS in Pakistan will be sharing the role of the Sphere support for a period of two months in Myanmar.

Hosting for all three Sphere resource people, as well as two HAP people, is being provided by Save the Children in Myanmar, which is providing management oversight and taking responsibility for insurance and security. CWS (Asia/Pacific, working as part of the ACT Alliance) has generously agreed to cover all staff costs until the end of August 2008.
