Recap of yesterday and last year.
Alison: dificult with the refrence group as it was closed, we need to listen and people need to know
what are we doing.
WHO: practice of having a forum is not new, WHO always engae with otheres
ISC engaging with non ISC members.
MHPSS.NET: we represnt huag group, we need to open a space and make sure the spcae is still open.
Ananda Galappatti: Feedback on what went well and what was useful and what we can improve.
About the first pannel,
Who: shal we do that again?
SC: the voice of the person with live experoince was very powerful and this is something new
The dialog with the donors is good, not only presentaions, the idea brought it forward
We need to know who was in the room, and what do they represent
ICRC: the time for questions by audiance was not enough
_No donors in the room, are there donors in the room, we needed to introduce ourselfes
Translating was difficult and chlanging and was great. Inovation is what we need to energize the group,
we need to know the people and why they are here....etc.
Pannel was great but was too long
We said it was a dialog but it was not.
Online voting made people want to go to there phones, and we dont want that, the survay shoud have
been done in a diffrent way,
We need to introduce to the people what we have done yesterday and why they are here.
Try to open the dialog earlier after the work group, where people are more comfortable with each
other.
True managment needs to be more strict, thanks to the porgnizers, alot of work but we need a
facilitator to take care of some of the comments.
Aboubt 2nd pannel UNICEF and GIZ , what was useful and what have been needed difrently:
The language was very technical
Too much information, if the function is to highlight, we could not highlight.
We need to engage the people, there was no dialog.
High level but the topic is very interesting, we need to inform Jordan on what happens globaly.
Peole looked very tierd, how do you start, what is the subject and what do you wanna achieve( too
complicated language)
UNICEF: I agree, it was short noted, we should have sent the document earlier to people before
presenting it. A lseon learend and should have been seperate from Berlin meeting.
GIZ: we need more time, In GIZ we did it in 2.5 hours, so not enough time.
SC: we need to begin with meeting, greatings, name tags and introduction and presentaion
Coment about the market place:
Very interesting, good oportunity but too short, some tools are more interesting than some
presentations, exceleant opprtunity to know people and each other.
We need to start with market place, breakfast and then move forward.
Too much papers for the environment sake.
Lack of time, the scope could include shourt summary of present projects, it was a bit messy with coffe
break
We need to have a special format for the attendance t0 fill with name, organization, and topic, so we
can identify and meet with each other,
Q, what might have been done to help people to access?
A. A rolling screen, pictures of quindolines.
Working group section:
What worked and what did not:
Very interesting, we need to go deep and further, not stop on yesterday only, time was enough but we
need to structure it differently.
Kelly: toward the end, we become so focused on the tweet, that make us less focused on going deep.
The most engaging activity, we need to do case study together rather than general topics,
• Case study
• Need signs for the groups
• Forced on the tweet
Difficult to prioritize discussion, and then the poster and tweet, when we deliver the poster, I don’t find
any benefit on it to others.
We need to prepare it better, we need to rethink to smoothen the process, tweets are bad,
Smaller groups are needed for more engagements,
Note taker and repeater to help keep us on track
There should be more connection and clarification of who we are and where Jordan is, so the people go
home with something,
We should send out evaluation form for participants to hear from them.
Let the people have topics and we do selection from that, PARICIPANT DRIVEN PROGRAM
Q, about the final session, what worked and what went wrong?
Was great, good information, audience need to have more information about the resources that we are
talking about.
Q, what was possible for the people to be more engaged?
A, this was the first open forum, we could have engaged people from the beginning and to discuss it
with the audience about their suggestion for future meetings.
Good idea to engage local and global actors, so lets do it again.
SITE VISIT
The site visit was good, timing was great, and the idea of no clients at the time of visit was very useful
People where waiting for us,
I like the idea of a forum, we need to have different structures and models for different meetings. Site
visit was in the middle, this is very good, so people don’t miss it, the purpose should be clear and it was
engagement, we need to introduce ourselves, we need to have signs to shoe who we are.
We need introduction,
We made the final session, the purpose was dialog, but we did not ask them what they took home with
them or we did not ask for their final session.
Thoughts on the future
Priorities in the next 5 years, and to manage time so we do what we are here for. We need to make it
open for the first 2 days, only 3rd is confidential.
Some parts of the reference group meetings could be life streamed and public.
We didn’t hear a read out from Ahmad!
IASC Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support
IASC MHPSS Guidelines Review (2014)
• Awareness of the IASC MHPSS Guidelines remains high at HQ level, but this awareness does not
necessarily translate to knowledge on the content of Guidelines at country level
• The presence of strong leadership of country-level MHPSS WGs is required to translate
awareness of the Guidelines into MHPSS programming.
• The availability and quality of MHPSS human resources at country level remains a challenge.
• Institutionalisation of the Guidelines & programming in line with the Guidelines requires a
stronger level of MHPSS capacity throughout the humanitarian system.
What would we like the person to do?
• Assessments/ Situational analysis
• Convene MHPSS WGs
• Support MHPSS WGs
• Capacity building initiatives
• Advocate for MHPSS with clusters/ sectors
• Strategy development – MHPSS in HRPs
• MHPSS referent point
• Mentoring
Overview of mechanisms
ProCap/ GenCap
• Deployed to support whole humanitarian system and HCTs.
• Managed through NRC OCHA Secretariat & Steering committee.
• Longer deployments, possible throughout the year.
• Deployed to a UN Agency.
• Senior level staff focusing on strategy development & policy
Rapid response Teams (RRTs)
• Cluster function – Unicef.
• Mixture of INGO & UN agencies.
• Deployed for 4-12 weeks
• Very rapid deployment to do assessments and strategy (HRP, flash appeals).
• Can be deployed as a team to Unicef at country level.

Also in one hotel is great
If local NGO does it then it needs a financial sport
