The Good Enough Guide in Ireland

On 10th May, I was asked to present on ECB and the Good Enough Guide (GEG) to the agencies that are members of Dóchas, the Irish humanitarian network. We had staff present from Plan international, Irish Aid, World Vision, Troicare, Irish Red Cross, Independent consultant and DORCAS. It was a very positive meeting and the guide was well received by all.

Irish Aid in particular really surprised me with the level of research they had done on ECB, including reading the Mid-Term Review and all the background documents. They all felt that the GEG had applications beyond just response and should be looked at it in our development work as well, and asked how we were working with our development wings to mainstream aspects such as the complaints mechanism. The timing of my presentation also worked well as the following week the Red Cross was presenting on their complaints mechanism that they used in Aceh.
