It explains why a CP drafting workshop can improve stakeholder buy-in, understanding, and approval compared with fragmented email-based drafting. The guide outlines a structured “read this first” rationale and provides Part 1 preparatory actions, including collecting existing plans and VCA materials, confirming personnel and buy-in, and arranging workshop logistics and participant pre-briefing.","IFRC facilitation guide for contingency planning working groups\nREAD THIS FIRST\nThis is a “how to” guide designed to help NS facilitators (or anyone assigned the task of producing a CP document) to accomplish this single aspect of the considerably wider overall contingency planning process. It is a component of the Federation’s CP Package, and directly supports Modules 2 (ANALYSE), 3 (DEVELOP), and 4 (IMPLEMENT) of that package. It is included as a reference document supporting Module 3 (DEVELOP) as this module is primarily concerned with the production of the plan document itself.\nWhile this guide focuses on this single element of the wider process, (drafting the CP document) it does not imply that the production of a document is the most important aspect of that process. The CP document is simply an indicator and record that the process has been done or is under way. However, it is still important that the document is of high quality and has genuine buy-in from stakeholders both within and outside of the RC NS.\nWhile CP drafting may be done by a small team or even a single individual or consultant, this often results in a document that reflects an incomplete understanding of the NS dynamics and the realities that the planned-for hazard will present for emergency responders. The process proposed in this guide is based on the model of conducting a focused workshop with well-chosen participants who can dedicate time and expertise to working as a group to develop a more complete and significant CP document.\nThis is not the only viable process, however. Drafting a CP document may be done sequentially by sending drafts and questionnaires out to multiple participants by email, for example, without convening a large working group or workshop. While convening a working group or workshop does require resources and dedicated time, it has proved in many cases that a 3-5 day workshop dedicated to group discussions, consensus-building, and document drafting can greatly increase the quality, understanding and approval, and even the speed of this important task.\nFollowing this guide will likely result in a CP document that is of high quality, has support from those involved in the working group, and is much more than a bureaucratic “box ticking” exercise. If done properly, the effort can actually save lives. This Guide is divided into two key components:\nPART 1. A checklist of things to do before convening a workshop or working group to draft the plan. This includes some short readings and tips that provide some useful insights on facilitating this kind of plan-drafting process with a working group.\nPART 2. A Facsimile “CP Drafting Workshop Guide” for participants of a CP working group or workshop which is focused on producing a plan document or draft. This Drafting Workshop Guide is designed as it would be copied and distributed to participants in a working group. There are some guidance notes included in red font that you may wish to remove before distributing to your working group. You are encouraged to copy, modify, or otherwise use and improve this guide as you see fit. Remember that this is not a “one size fits all approach” and that you will need to modify times and components of the guide as required by your own situation.\nUsers of this guide are encouraged to share the results of their processes with the Federation staff at the Zone level. As this is a first draft of this guide your inputs and honest evaluation will help improve it for future users.\n\u000f\n\u000f\nPART 1 – GETTING READY TO FACILITATE A CP DRAFTING WORKSHOP\nPreliminary Work Checklist\nPrior to convening a working group or workshop dedicated to drafting a contingency plan, you should do the following things:\nACTIONS RELATED TO DOCUMENT AND INFORMATION COLLECTION\nCollect and review existing relevant contingency plans or other disaster preparedness plans that may relate to this exercise.\nVCA done by the NS within the last 5 years.\nRecent Well Prepared National Society assessment d","cbCaigTV7dNkDwuE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigTV7dNkDwuE","docx",1213653,56,"English","en",105,"# Preliminary Work Checklist\n## Actions Related to Document and Information Collection\n## Personnel Management & Buy-in Actions\n## Workshop Logistics Actions\n# Preliminary Reading 1 -
