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

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.

The business rules for calculating which pillar a victim is at must take in consideration the following:

  • 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.
