MINIMUM INITIAL SERVICE PACKAGE (MISP) Workshop Final Report (2022)

The Trinidad and Tobago Red Cross Society was selected as an implementing partner of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for the execution of the “Integrating Sexual Reproductive Health Services into National and Local Disaster Management Plans” project. One of the main deliverables under the project was the facilitation of a stakeholder workshop which would specifically define the procedures for the inclusion of the Minimum Initial Service Package for Sexual Reproductive Health in Emergencies (MISP) into Trinidad and Tobago’s disaster plans, within the Ministry of Health (MoH), the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM), the Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government (MoRDLG) and the Tobago Emergency Management Agency.

During a three-day workshop held on the 14th to 16th December 2022, the TTRCS together with the National AIDS Coordinating Committee (NACC) and supported with technical guidance through UNFPA, facilitated a dialogue with State and Civil Society Partners on how to include the MISP elements into national and local disaster management plans.
