That means that the agency must be able to deliver aid and experts to the affected area without delay. To respond to emergencies most effectively, UNHCR has concluded a number of Standby Partnerships with governmental agencies, NGOs, and private sector organizations that have specific expertise and capacity to complement UNHCR’s internal surge capacity. Through these arrangements, qualified short-term deployees can be provided quickly through simplified procedures and often at no cost to UNHCR. UNHCR also increasingly benefits from a range of technical service packages provided by Standby Partners such as water and sanitation facilities for UNHCR’s persons of concern, innovative initiatives that facilitate communication and harness renewable energy, and the construction of the office and accommodation facilities for UNHCR staff in very challenging locations. The Guide to UNHCR’s Emergency Standby Partners is a revision of the 2008 Guide
