As well as I currently leave the flooring to our executive director, Dr Balwant Singh, for a very quick welcome message. Thank you extremely much, Barbara, as well as a great morning. Excellent mid-day or good evening to every one of you who'' ve required time to join
us today. Invite to the Sphere webinar, which explores the application of Ball requirements in city settings. A lot more appropriate now with intricate dilemmas such as covid-19, which influence all sorts of settings. Several of you might recognize Ball well, but some of you might be not so familiar with Ball. The Round thinks that people affected by crises must go to the facility of choices regarding altruistic security, durability, recovery and assistance.
They have the right to prompt effective and also top quality humanitarian support, which enables them to survive crises, rebuild their lives and also recover their livelihoods with respect and also dignity. This webinar is an initial for Sphere to support the launch of an application overview. We are most likely to do this much more often in future. We have gained considerable experience delivering webinars over the previous six months and also located that this enables us both to reach more Sphere users, however also include in our picking up from a broader audience. Today, we are launching our most current execution overview, Sphere for Urban Settings, and also we want to check out among one of the most challenging issues when it comes to functioning with international requirements, that of using criteria meaningfully in a certain context and when discussing urban city settings are most definitely extremely intricate setting completely. It'' s my enjoyment currently to introduce my colleague Aninia Nadig, who will certainly promote this webinar Aninia join Round in 2008 and also lead the policy as well as method work and likewise coordinates the Humanitarian Standards Collaboration over to you Aninia.
Thank you Balwant. Several many thanks and also welcome everybody. I will do my ideal to lead you through this webinar today and also I wanted to begin by undoubtedly briefly covering the goals of this webinar, which are to share info on the Sphere Handbook as well as its application in urban contexts. It is to accentuate the brand-new guide, as Balwant just stated. It is additionally to share some positive instances as well as finest methods in the execution of criteria in urban settings, city settings. And the last item is to defy the misconceptions that Ball standards are not actually so much suitable in city settings.
We will certainly have a number of people talking today, which I will certainly introduce as we go along, and at the very beginning, I will like I wish to take a look at the surveys that you just started to complete. And it'' s actually constantly fascinating for us to see just how that our audience is. We ' re attempting to evaluate that a little bit. The first inquiry that we posed to you was how usually do you utilize Sphere criteria during your job? It'' s wonderful to see that many of you do often utilize them or also usually, as well as the minority just reacted never. I wish that we can we can interest you in Ball completely that you will pick up the manual too in the future. And the second concern was, how frequently do you make use of the Sphere criteria while functioning in an urban context there? The numbers are a bit greater. They'' re typically a little bit reduced and the at the sometimes. Maybe it is the truth that. The city application of the requirements is not as as regular as dealing with them in other contexts, to ensure that makes this this webinar fairly appropriate as well as.
I wish to begin by. Hang on this. We have one more poll, do we have an additional poll? Yes, so the other survey we wanted to suggest prior to we really obtain into the right into the meat of things is each sort of environment you function to ensure that we likewise have a feeling of a better feeling, again, of who our target market is and how the amount of of you really operate in urban contexts and what kinds of city contexts. And also. So the majority of you operate in the office, so do we, specifically now the countryside is fairly high planned settlements, spontaneous negotiations are a little bit lower. Towns or cities, a few of you do some 36 percent of. So, once again, not many of you actually do operate at a majority or this moment does not operate in city setups at this minute.
That'' s good for us to recognize. Again, hoping that the, , the this webinar will supply you some new understandings. As Balwant said, Sphere does use to all contexts because it is improved universal rights that apply everywhere. As well as I was rather happy to see that we obtained 2 remarks first of the webinar who stated, well, why are we speaking about debunking this this myth? Why why do we even think that there'' s a misconception that Ball does not put on urban setups? It does. But there have actually been continually voices that say, well, that the standards wear'' t actually function in urban setups. Again, city is an extremely particular context with extremely specific expertise needed to operate in it, as is the instance with any kind of various other context too. As well as I do not intend to minimize the intricacy of a metropolitan context, so there is a difficulty of how to assess actual requirements. There'' s a difficulty of of functioning maybe in a location based way that is much less particularly concentrating on people. There'' s the challenge of sychronisation with a different kind, with a bigger number perhaps of of stakeholders in a really complicated, thick context.
I put on'' t desire to take those challenges away, however they must be acknowledged. They put on'' t mean that Humanitarian requirements wear ' t use. Therefore the other thing is. That often individuals state, yeah, yet'there ' s signs in the Sphere Manual, you recognize, 50 litres per individual per day, three as well as a fifty percent square metres of covered living room. They put on'' t make feeling or queuing time for for getting water. They put on'' t make good sense in a city context. And also below, I simply want to claim that if we can most likely to the following slide. Many individuals, unfortunately, focus a great deal on the indicators in the handbook and also signs are very important, however they wear'' t exist alone. What they do is they sustain the criteria that are a qualitative result, statements based upon legal rights and also neither the standards nor the indications even taken with each other are, you understand, somewhere in in mindspace since the indicators to establish them, to use them to to contextualize them, you need the next slide, which are alright, which are the foundation chapters of Round as well as Ball as assistance notes.
As well as also those are not, you know, created in slim air. Whatever is based on context as well as knowledge of context. As well as so as opposed to checking out indicators and afterwards assuming, well, what do we perform with these signs, we require to take a step back as well as understand that whatever we do is based on context and then feeds the indications which are contextualized, and they then permit the standards to be met. Therefore Round is not about 15 litres of water each per day, as well as it'' s not about three and a fifty percent square meters of covid space, which are a few of the metrics in the signs.
Round is about people having economical and also equitable accessibility to enough amount of risk-free water, for example, to satisfy their needs. Or it is concerning individuals having access to a adequate as well as secure living space that permits them to live a life with dignity. And also the various other vital part I require to state is that all those requirements, those technical requirements are improved Round Structure chapters, which are the Humanitarian Charter, the protection concepts as well as the Core Humanitarian Criterion. Which all place people and also areas at the center and as one of our speakers, Schoeman stated very aptly yesterday in the discussion, those are values that wear'' t need extra financing, however that are really based on the mind set. If requirements are well developed, which I wish Sphere criteria are, then those requirements will certainly be able to absorb to deal with the stress in between very various kinds of contexts and still provide beneficial support on what requires to be in location for people to survive and recuperate with dignity.
With that. I would love to move to the next. Action, which is I'' m delighted to present the initial round of speakers to you. They will certainly present three instances of dealing with criteria in metropolitan contexts, and the very first audio speaker will be cameleer them Gilette. He is the planner of area based programs for the Turkish Red Crescent, concentrating on protection, income'' s, psychosocial support and also social addition tasks. As well as prior to this position, he was working with the worldwide procedures of the Turkish Red Crescent in Gaza as well as Somalia. He additionally helped UNHCR and also numerous believe tanks and also is one of the Ball focal factor in Turkey, and therefore, he additionally services disaster threat decrease as well as area durability. The second speaker will certainly have is Zaineb Sandra, which she stays in Istanbul, additionally Turkey based, as well as she has belonged to the Round neighborhood considering that 2009, primarily as an independent Sphere Trayner. Zainab used Ball standards in various nations and also different contexts, including Turkey, Gaza, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Bangladesh and also others. She'' s currently a board participant of the brand-new Ringy Organization in Istanbul, and this local NGO is really a member of Round as well as Zainab is likewise Sphere focal point Round focal factor in Turkey.
The third speaker we have is shumann United States Will Islam. He is the director of the Good samaritan Management Academy in Bangladesh, based in Dakar. He has been operating in Diora as well as with disaster risk reduction and also in the altruistic sector for over 25 years. As well as this includes functioning with Oxfam Difford Conserve the Kid Care Brucke and likewise home in Bangladesh. He added to the growth of the requirement in 2006 as well as played an important duty in promoting and also equating the Round standards into into four for Bangladesh and likewise establishing the Ball community, Bangladesh, which is also quite essential. Ball prime focus Sumant is a Sphere Trayner and has been for several years with this. I would such as to hand over to. Camille, allowed'' s start with Camille as well as his discussion of applying Sphere standards in city setups over to you.
Camille, thank you significantly. Thank you, Aninia Uh. So greetings, everyone. Uh, so I will be briefly informing you just how we make use of the Sphere criteria in the metropolitan setting interm within the context of covid-19 to make sure that I will do my best to demystify the truths that are existing with the with this use Sphere in the city settings. So thatI mean, there are a number of different events that we had an opportunity to use Ball.
But prior to passing to enter into the information, I will just quickly educate you on the context that that we are working. So Turkey is a country that is containing around 100 million people as well as there are 5 million evacuees inside the country. And as much as the data are stating, 70 percent of the Turkish populace is residing in the metropolitan settlements. To make sure that it is, uh, the context could be taken into consideration as fairly metropolitan city area. Uh, and also apart from that, it is vulnerable to various calamities, consisting of earthquake followed. And also now extremely just recently, we have that migration dilemma to ensure that it brings us a complex, an intricate altruistic dilemma at the end of the day. Therefore. So let me simply quickly inform you how we are trying to manage Ball via using the sorry, deal with covid-19, through utilizing the Sphere requirements. Can we just begin presentation? Yes, so initial point that we are doing is the evaluation, as well as in situation you check the the the files that the additional to the Sphere guidebook that is referring to the the minimum criteria for applications to the urban negotiations, uh, the evaluation is the core core start the core elements that should be done at the start of the use of Ball.
That'' s what we did, is we began a report monitoring system and also regularly we are attempting to do that. We are we conducted an evaluation as well as it is it is published. You can inspect it through that via that site. I additionally uploaded the link or you can call me for the for additional info so that it is called as expertise, mindsets and also expertise, attitudes and also analyses on covid-19.
As well as it was carried out through Turkish Red Crescent interaction channels in which consists of social media sites platforms, phone meetings. We have a large phone call facility as well as we carried out that that study with around four hundred people, four thousand people on the whole, and we collected qualitative and quantitative information. We simply understood that there had been various reports for I indicate, regarding covid-19. As well as among them was vinegar as well as garlic as well as onions, I imply, they were considering I suggest, many of individuals were considering at the beginning of the covid-19 that can be maintaining us from covid-19.
And also not a surprise for this, the majority of the governments, consisting of Globe Wellness Organization, was claiming that there is no demand to use mosque and also mosque might be damaging for the human health at the beginning of the covid-19. And also it is also unfortunate that we can see the changes. We can see the trends of the covid-19, uh, that has actually been evaluated from from the moment being. We we passed to our recipients.
I mean, we are providing support to greater than 2 or 3 million people inside the nation. That'' s one of the most of them are evacuees, in fact. And also and with these these analyses, we were trying to understand what were the needs of covid. I suggest, what what exactly how the covid influenced their day-to-day life. Among them was the education. I mean, they were unable to go to schools. Because it was impacting the socioeconomic framework of their life and they were not able to get to out to medical services, that was another point. As well as I imply, 22 percent of the of our recipients were unable to reach to medical solutions that were applied in their households. Uh, so that I imply, we attempted to understand just how is our area and also exactly how they need to be and just how we we must be making some modifications with our solutions. And afterwards the third one was the relying upon the areas. As well as we were performing the usually we are carrying out these advising board conferences and we are attempting to recognize what they are anticipating from our services. Uh, for the reaction side, we are working with the defense mainstreaming as well as the response given that because of the covid precautions, there are very few organizations that are servicing the area degree to ensure that we are doing security job.
That indicates we are trying to sustain people to access to the standard solutions that the Turkish government is supplying. And additionally we are giving money support for, I mean, around one point eight million individuals inside the country. And there are also some complementary elements that were that were sustaining our cash money cash program, in fact, like rental issues, socioeconomic SOP support. However it was also going through the cash money device auteur'' s also. In any type of instance, Turkey is a nation that has a solid and also efficient banking system so that it might be kept. As well as you can see the more information in the corresponding standards, uh, exactly how the mechanism should be operating at a minimal degree.
And livelihood support can be also taken into consideration as an aspect, because the majority of individuals we'' re confronting with unemployment and I imply in order to sustain both to the labour market and the employees, we were attempting to support individuals to profile and also link them to the marketplace requirements to ensure that this was a normal job that we were doing. At the end of the day, we actually needed to sustain these individuals that were standing out of the labour market. We can pass to the following presentation. Yeah, the the thing is what we saw is actually I imply, this is most probably you have that in your mind. And also this is among the things as well as we truly require to go further information on the covid-19 results, because, I indicate, what we understood is digitalisation is not an alternative any longer.
It is it is a solution that that individuals must be accessing. As well as, uh, in the metropolitan settlements, it is it is quite unfortunate that many of individuals are still unable to accessibility to the Web or to online channels. And also education and learning was just one of the troubles inside Turkey. There are also problems in most of the countries due to the fact that kids were not able to accessibility to instructional services. That at the end of the day, I guess we will really need to think about that whether we we must be taking right into consideration that digitalisation may be a minimal typical or not. Yet this will be definitely bringing us to one more worth. Said this. This is the this becomes part of the Sustainable Growth Goals. And and also it is quite important to recognize communities, what they are needing as well as what they truly intend to wishes to embrace while we are supporting individuals in the urban settings. We are assuming is I imply, what I can say for for anybody that would certainly claim that Ball is pointless papers for the metropolitan setups like Brussels in Geneva.
What I can claim is that the understanding of city has actually moved with the covid-19 since we obtain all at risk with the covid. I mean, the people that remain in front of their computer systems are mainly at their residences. And it is what I call is a little apprehension that is little. As well as within that within that tiny detention, individuals are stuck in these places and they are not able to connect to ensure that we are all prone and also we actually require to manage that as well as understand that. However I truly wear'' t think that Sphere can be inconceivable while we are giving humanitarian assistance to the communities. So these are all that I wish to mirror.
Yet if you have any type of questions, we will be talking about all the questions and also answers, I think. Thank you. Thanks very, extremely much, Camille. That was extremely fascinating. You increased the issue of assessments and you gave some tips of of doing analyses as well as including the neighborhood is very interesting in a different way. And also, um, as well as ideas for new requirements, for brand-new ways, brand-new methods of benefiting it. The Intersect, the truth of standards. Very, really crucial. And also we we we make note of that. And I'' m sure I suggest, guidance constantly develops, fortunately, to adjust to new difficulties as we recognize them and as we'' re faced by those obstacles.
I would certainly like to hand over currently to Zainab, that will certainly also talk with us about circumstances in Turkey. Extremely much anticipating that. Over to you, Zainab. Thanks. Thank you, Aninia, and also greetings. Great afternoon and great evening to all. I will share some representations Ball MSG in urban settings from various point of view, from various stakeholders perspective in Turkey. So thank you Wassila this and this light. It was a good coincidence right prior to I got the invite for joining the state dinner, I had actually already set up at 11th and 10th DEC for delivering an online Sphere EMS training to the stakeholders who were functioning mainly in Istanbul from the international organization to the national companies and some community effort members. So it was actually participatory and also program. This offered me an opportunity to obtain actual time information from the participants regarding the Ball. In addition, I performed a focus group discussion with different stakeholders, representatives, especially mostly I can see cume for months.
As well as additionally I did this testimonial in Round in Turkey. Enticing all these data gathering and also process, I focus on three points, people'' s awareness of the Round Manual. Individuals accessibility to the Round Manual individuals'' s views of the Ball Handbook. So following slide, please. Twenty 8 individuals I interviewed, every one of them have actually been operating in metropolitan settings, nearly all of them to stress levels, had come across the Round Manual all have an accessibility to the on the internet variation of the Ball Manual one to twenty 8 people I talked to stated that. Their company has been making use of Ball mess, even several of them had restricted expertise of it, yet they stated their organization is applying Ball and they would such as to obtain even more. Can they involved deeply for the applying of Ball with proper understanding? So it'' s still in the Turkish rollergirls availability in Turkey, Ball Manual, two thousand 2 thousand 4 to 11 versions are offered in Turkish.
We will certainly hit the twenty eighteen local school dishes, the very first quarter of the twenty 2 thousand twenty one, we will have it. Regarding this review, I felt that Sphere Handbook 2000 variation is still being used. It was actually a surprise for me, too. I can see, particularly by Accademia, mainly by the departments of architecture and design. I located that some academicians from these departments referenced the Sphere Handbook in their articles, additionally Ball Handbook 2 thousand variation is being made use of by district personnel or professional. These are large cities, districts, including Istanbul, Izmir, VA, the largest of Turkey. So. The mostly the engineers as well as engineers working in the city preparation metropolitan planning devices of municipalities also pointed out the Tooter 2011 variation of Round Handbook in their record. Especially, it will be dealing with the spec of the setting up areas or emptying areas in emergencies. It was intriguing. Additionally, Red Crescent nutrition standards in twenty seventeen I know recommendation to Sphere images.
A few of the participants of the workshop individuals likewise stated that their organization have actually been utilizing this standard for nutrition response. Following slide, please. There should be one minor, but still, I can state, pay attention, could you simply examine if there is one another slide? No. No. OK, OK, I can'' t I can ' t take your foster home, OK? I can'' t proceed with this.
Ball focal factor Sumant is a Ball Trayner and also has actually been for numerous years with this. Uh, so I will be briefly informing you how we use the Ball standards in the urban setting interm within the context of covid-19 so that I will do my best to demystify the realities that are lying with the with this usage of Ball in the city setups. Let me simply briefly inform you exactly how we are trying to deal with Ball with utilizing the sorry, cope with covid-19, through making use of the Ball requirements.
