The assistance to both individuals (direct and indirect beneficiaries) and communities may be recorded with this new object in version 6.0. Assistance is the action of assisting victims. Monitoring of assistance projects may be done with the existing Task module.

Assistance is closely linked to the victimisation cause. The assistance can be provided to:

  • an individual;
  • a family / extended family;
  • a group of victims;
  • a community.

The cause and needs assessment of individuals are entered in the Victim. In the future, similar subobjects for cause and needs assessment of a community may be added to the Location item.

Assistance (actions) may be classified in the following phases:

  • Emergency (health care and humanitarian aid)
  • Stabilisation (health services, education, economic reintegration and physical accessibility)
  • Transition (social inclusion, advocacy, data collection and physical accessibility)
  • Protection (risk analysis)
  • Legal support (law/policy)
  • Institutional reinforcement (institution staff support, education/awareness and access to services)

Each country needs to define what is included in each of the above phases/pillars.

  • There is no global definition of number of pillars
  • There are no mandatory pillars
  • There are no chronological or logical order between pillars
  • A victim may receive assistance of more than one pillar at the same time
  • A victim may receive assistance of a pillar more than once.
