2.2. Distribution

Global Hand recommends The Sphere Project’s Minimum Standards where applicable to distribution of goods.

2.2.1.

“The method of food distribution is equitable, and appropriate to local conditions. Recipients are informed of their ration entitlement and its rationale.”

Key indicators include:

• “People are aware of the quantity and type of ration to be distributed for each distribution cycle, and reasons for any differences from established norms are provided.”
• “People receive the quantities and types of commodities planned.”
• “The method of distribution is readily accessible and scheduled at convenient times to minimise disruption to everyday activity.”

See the Sphere Project for further detail.
