The IASC MHPSS RG introduced the MHPSS M&E Helpdesk in 2021 to support uptake and use of the IASC Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for MHPSS in Emergency Settings: With means of verification (Version 2.0).
In 2007, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) released the IASC Guidelines on MHPSS in Emergency Settings. Shortly after 2007, the IASC MHPSS Reference Group (IASC MHPSS RG) was established to operationalize and disseminate these Guidelines.
The IASC MHPSS RG, cochaired by WHO and IFRC, is a collaboration of UN Agencies, (I)NGOs, academic partners and other international agencies that work to integrate MHPSS across sectors and advocate with donors and the humanitarian system.
The IASC MHPSS RG supports MHPSS Technical Working Groups and other emergency response actors through calls and missions, surge support and guidance for specific emergencies or specific thematic areas of MHPSS, including MHPSS M&E through this helpdesk.
