IMC Frontiers• Operating in insecure locations• Access areas few organizations serve• Disaster preparedness – Avian Flu, SEPRI, E.
Africa

IMC Long-Term Engagement• Remain engaged in the long-term to address
underlying vulnerability and ongoing crisis– Enable communities to reach a higher developmental
stage in protracted crisis– Apply lessons learned from emergency stage to
development– Establish relationships with sufficient time for long-term
training and advocacy– Ability to achieve long-term sustainability upon exiting

– Indonesia SEPRI program strengthens national emergency preparedness and response capacity
– Eritrea community credit associations are now a long-lasting source of funding for local livelihoods activities
– Chechnya’s community action groups advocate for and organize to provide vital services to thousands of returning refugees

IMC Response Capacity• Respond quickly and appropriately
