Field Operations Guide
The Field Operations Guide (FOG) (PDF) version 4.0 has been updated and improved to include new information on a variety of current topics. New and updated sections address humanitarian protection, safety and security issues, working with the U.S. military, and working with USAID/OFDA's Response Management Team (RMT).
FOG has information on key topics, including:
- General responsibilities for disaster responders
- Formats and reference material for assessing and reporting on populations at risk
- Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) position descriptions and duty checklists
- Sample tracking and accounting forms
- Descriptions of USAID/OFDA stockpile commodities
- General information related to disaster activities
- Information on working with the military in the field
- A glossary of acronyms and terms used by USAID/OFDA
- Other organizations which USAID/OFDA works with
FOG has also been cross-checked by technical specialists to ensure consistency with Sphere guidelines, and has been updated to reflect the current USAID/OFDA organizational structure.
Fuel Efficient Stove (FES) Programs Toolkit
In July 2010, USAID/OFDA published Fuel-Efficient Stove Programs in Humanitarian Settings: An Implementer’s Toolkit, detailing good practices for FES programs in immediate and protracted humanitarian contexts.
Designed to lead humanitarian organizations through a step-by-step process of assessment, planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of a proposed FES program, the Toolkit provides explanations of tasks to be conducted, tools to complete each task, and information on additional resources.
While the Toolkit is a comprehensive framework, the fields of stove design and testing methodologies are dynamic. Please refer to the USAID/OFDA Guidelines for Unsolicited Proposals and Reporting to determine if there are any relevant revisions or updates before submitting a proposal for funding.
