Simplified Early Action Protocol
Explanation
Early Action Protocols (EAP) are formal plans produced by National Societies. They outline the early actions that will be taken when a specific hazard is forecasted to impact communities, and provide pre-approved funding.
Simplified Early Action Protocols (sEAP) are a lighter approach available to Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, also drawing on the principles of forecast-based financing. They are simplified plans with a lower budget and a shorter life span than a full EAP.

Strengthening Movement Coordination and Cooperation
Definición
Reforzar la Coordinación y la Cooperación del Movimiento
Explanation
The SMCC initiative is the result of a joint assessment of challenges experienced in the field. SMCC aims to improve the way Movement partners work together and enhance coordination and cooperation, especially in response to medium to large-scale emergencies.
The SMCC initiative is anchored in the Statutes of the Movement which affirm that all partners shall cooperate with each other according to their roles defined by their respective mandates.
The roles and responsibilities, as well as the interaction between Movement partners, are defined by the ‘Movement Coordination for Collective Impact Agreement’ (MCCIA), also known as the Seville Agreement 2.0.
Explicación
La iniciativa SMCC es el resultado de una evaluación conjunta de los retos experimentados sobre el terreno. El CCSM tiene por objeto mejorar la manera en que los asociados del Movimiento trabajan juntos y mejorar la coordinación y la cooperación, especialmente en respuesta a emergencias de mediana a gran escala.
La iniciativa del CCMM se basa en los Estatutos del Movimiento, en los que se afirma que todos los asociados cooperarán entre sí de acuerdo con las funciones definidas en sus respectivos mandatos.
Las funciones y responsabilidades, así como la interacción entre los asociados del Movimiento, se definen en el "Acuerdo de Coordinación del Movimiento para lograr un Impacto Colectivo" (MCCIA), también conocido como Acuerdo de Sevilla 2.0.
