Emergency Handbook: UNHCR operations management cycle

This entry describes how the operations management cycle functions in emergencies. The operations management cycle is the process through which UNHCR offices organize their programming. It prescribes a series of actions, from assessment, through planning, resourcing and implementing, to monitoring and evaluation, which ensure that persons of concern receive protection, assistance and services in a seamless and coordinated manner. It also links to contingency

planning and preparedness. This entry focuses on how key steps at each stage are executed in emergencies. More detailed information may be found in Entries that describe different phases of the operations management cycle.
