The DEMAC Toolkit is a compilation of ten short, hands-on pocket guides on diaspora humanitarianism. Out of the ten, five guides are tailored to diaspora actors, covering the following topics:

1. Where To Find Relevant Humanitarian Data and Information
2. Advocacy Toolkit for Diaspora Humanitarian Organizations
3. Guidance on Training and Learning Resources
4. Introduction to the Humanitarian System, its Structure, Standards and Approaches
5. Guideline on the Core Humanitarian Standard and Recommendations on their Operationalization

Why this DEMAC toolkit?

The DEMAC toolkit intends to offer practical guidance to support diaspora organizations in their humanitarian response and enhance coordination with diaspora and the humanitarian institutional system.

The toolkit is informed by DEMAC lessons learnt, consultations and good practices on diaspora humanitarianism. It provides guidance for diaspora responders and sets the framework for increasing understanding, knowledge and capacity in humanitarian response.

The toolkit does not intend to provide a binding, predetermined list of interventions or types of activities that may or may not be implemented, as this is dependent on the specific context and would appear overly prescriptive.

We encourage adaptation of this resource to your local context. Interested in all 10 pocket guides? Find them in our Resource Library
