The 2010 version provides additional guidance on how to implement the Minimum
Initial Service Package (MISP) for Reproductive Health, a minimum standard of
care in humanitarian response. It also splits the original chapter on HIV and
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) into two separate chapters to
accommodate new guidance on HIV programming. A new chapter on Comprehensive
Abortion Care has been developed to cover more than post-abortion care. The
chapters on Program Design, Monitoring and Evaluation and Adolescent
Reproductive Health have been placed earlier in the manual to address the
cross-cutting nature of these topics. Information on human rights and legal
considerations has been integrated into each of the thematic chapters to ensure
that program staff can address rights-related concerns.
The updated information is based on normative technical guidance of the World
Health Organization. It also reflects the good practices documented in crisis
settings around the world since the initial field-test version was released in
1996. The latest edition reflects the wide application of the Field Manual’s
principles and technical content beyond refugee situations, extending its use
into diverse crises, including conflict zones and natural disasters.
