This toolkit was developed, piloted, and published through the generous support of the Bureau of Humanitarian Affairs (BHA) of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It was made possible by the invaluable contributions made by an interagency group of experts throughout its development and piloting, who are named below.
This toolkit and its contents are a culmination of the years-long work of IRC Signpost and Protection and Rule of Law (PRoL) teams who have designed, tested, and improved these approaches and tools. It was developed further through an extensive mapping, compilation, and incorporation of good practices, lessons learned, tools, and approaches from a diverse set of interagency stakeholders who have pioneered the info is aid movement and advocated for the importance of lifesaving information in achieving protection outcomes, accountability, and meaningful, empowered recovery for crisis-affected people.
