  1. ECB SIMULATION PROJECT David Hockaday, Global Field Project Manager January 26th, 2011 www.ecbproject.org

  2. ECB Simulation Project • Why is ECB interested in Simulations? • A long term capacity building project, to build national capacity during ‘peace time’ • Simulations are an excellent tool for providing ‘safe space’ adult learning opportunities • ECB Tool developed in Phase 1 (single agency / multi agency toolkit) • Commitment in the ECB Project Proposal for each consortium to use the ECB Simulation tool developed in Phase 1 (in the absence of any real emergencies in that year)

  3. ECB Simulation Project • Four key objectives of the ECB simulation; • Test participants ability to coordinate and collaborate • Assess improvements in performance • Opportunity for agencies to test their own Emergency Preparedness Planning • Provide a baseline for the Consortium of British Humanitarian Agencies (CBHA) Staff Capacity Building Project

  4. ECB Simulation Project • How does the tool work? • Desk based, usually in a multi room venue • Hazard scenario’s developed from a pre-training assessment carried out (Flood, Cyclone, Earthquake, Drought) • Requires role play from facilitation team / others • One day for the simulation itself and ideally one day for the debrief / action plan

  5. ECB Simulation Project • Events held so far • Bangladesh (March 2010) • Kenya (April 2010) also included a Training of Trainers • Bolivia (April 2010) • Uganda (November 2010) • Indonesia (November 2010) POSTPONED

  6. ECB Simulation Project • Who comes to these events? • Senior managers, country directors and project managers of; • ECB / CBHA agencies • Local Partners • UNICEF, UNOCHA, WFP • National Red Cross • - Government Departments (office of the prime minister)

  7. ECB Simulation Project • Successes in application of the tool • 56 out of 67 (83%) participants in Bolivia, Uganda and Kenya ranked the simulation exercise as very satisfactory / satisfactory • In Bangladesh 11 out of 11 participants said that they would recommend the tool and that they would use the simulation tool again in their own agencies. • In Uganda 24 out of 25 respondents (96%) reported that the simulation had equipped them with necessary skills for a real time emergency

  8. ECB Simulation Project • Key Outcomes of the simulations • Simulations most useful for preparedness planning and team building, developing a capacity to coordinate and exchange information but most importantly to learn from mistakes and build relationships • Bangladesh simulation highlighted need for sectoral and geographical coordination • Uganda simulation participants reflected on a lack of knowledge (or application) of key sector tools such as Sphere and a need for coordinated approaches to emergency assessments. • In Bolivia participants felt the need for closer / better coordination with UN partners, particularly UNOCHA • Testing / developing tools i.e. Bangladesh / Indonesia (DERP) and Niger contingency plan

  9. ECB Simulation Project • Events planned • Niger (February 2011) • Bangladesh ECB Simulation (May 2011) and CBHA simulation (Nov 2011) • Bolivia CBHA Simulation (Nov 2011 – Feb 2012) • Indonesia CBHA Simulation (Nov 2011 – Feb 2012) • Horn of Africa CBHA Simulation (Nov 2011 – Feb 2012)

  10. ECB Simulation Project • Tools Available (www.ecbproject.org) • ECB Emergency Simulation; Administrators Guide • ECB Emergency Simulations; Training of Trainers Participants Workbook • ECB Simulation #1 – Single Agency tool • ECB Simulation #2 – Multi Agency tool (English and Spanish, French in plan)

  11. ECB Simulation Project • Who has used these tools, and where are they used? * • 65 downloads of the simulation documents from ECB Web Site • Used across 14 primary countries. • The Administrators manual nearly half of the down loads (47%) with the multi agency toolkit and single agency toolkit accounting for 28% and 17% of downloads respectively. • The end users are predominantly INGO staff from organisations such as Oxfam, World Vision and the Red Cross while UN institutions such as WFP are also represented as is a senior staff member from the US Military Corps! • * Data collected between May 2010 and September 2010

  12. ECB Simulation Project • Summary • “….The joint participation of agencies and partners signified a very positive experience and facilitated collaboration and open spaces, which without a doubt will continue after the simulation…” • Bolivia Simulation Facilitation Team, April 2010 • An incredibly valuable tool to build trust and relationships in a safe space • Useful opportunity to develop preparedness planning both as a group and as a single agency • Excellent opportunity to test tools or approaches in a safe space • Ideal to build confidence of staff who will be involved in future / large scale humanitarian response. • Desire in ECB Consortia (Bolivia) to reach out further in 2011 to UN, government and other stakeholders
