The Minimum Economic Recovery Standards Training Course

Sep 18, 2022 | by

About the Course

The Minimum Economic Recovery Standards (MERS) are the internationally recognized consensus on best practices for building economic resilience for crisis-affected communities. SEEP developed and refined MERS over a ten-year process with input from hundreds of organizations and practitioners. Launched in 2017 with funding from USAID’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, SEEP’s Mainstreaming MERS initiative is designed to increase awareness, sustained learning, and wide scale uptake of the Minimum Economic Recovery Standards by organizations working in disaster response and economic recovery.

The objective of this training is to equip the participants with the knowledge and skills to understand and advocate for the MERS.

This course is run by Trust Consultancy & Development, an organization independent of the SEEP Network. For more information click here.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this training, the participants will be able to:

  • Communicate what the MERS are and how they could be used effectively to their peers;
  • Articulate the value of the MERS to their work and crisis-affected populations;
  • Recognize the relevance of the MERS for all types of market-based programming for relief, recovery, long-term development, and resilience building across any sector;
  • Identify and use the most appropriate MERS in planning, implementing, and evaluating intervention activities.
