You are currently intervening or wishing to intervene in a dense urban context to 
respond to issues of food security and improve livelihood conditions? This handbook 
is for you!
Following the evaluation of all of its sack-gardening projects, SOLIDARITÉS 
INTERNATIONAL (SI) wished to formalise... its experience through this technical 
handbook.
NGOs, including SI, are increasingly led to intervene in contexts of high density (whether 
in camps or in slums): this handbook is thus set within this dynamic. 
It provides the keys for assessing the relevance of a sack-gardening project, as well as 
the tools for its implementation. Nonetheless, all methodologies and tools proposed 
in this handbook shall be further contextualised in case of a replication of this project.

This phased scale-up includes the setup of 70 additional VL testing laboratories nationally. These guidelines include laboratory design considerat...ions, a summary of VL technologies, and specimen collection and handling as well as transportation and storage guidance. Quality control and quality assurance requirements are described as well as laboratory safety issues. The guidelines also describe the VL laboratory network to be developed with supply chain management issues and commodities described. Annexes include laboratory registers and reporting forms.

It aims to harmonize the risk assessment of such insecticides for public health use in order to generate comparable data for their registering and labell...ing by national regulatory authorities. The assessment considers both adults and children (all age groups) as well as people in the following specific categories:
- those preparing the spray;
- those applying the spray;
- residents living in the treated houses;
- residents who participate in preparing and applying insecticides.

Its purpose is to provide guidance on choices regarding settlement planning in risky environments, as well as on the building techniques to improve individual shelters. The contents may be used to develop trainings on part...icipatory shelter risk reduction methods, such as PASSA.
This guide is not aimed at construction professionals, although it may serve them to communicate with beneficiaries and volunteers on safety measures. The intended readers are Red Cross Red Crescent volunteers, who are not expected to be experts in shelter construction and safety but should be able to understand the most important technical aspects of shelter safety in the communities in which they work.

It recommends OCVs for high-risk populations, endemic areas, and humanitarian cr...ises, emphasizing their effectiveness in reducing cases and mortality. The paper discusses two types of OCVs (Dukoral®, Shanchol™, Euvichol®) and supports the WHO-managed vaccine stockpile for rapid deployment in cholera-prone regions.
