The MHPSS Minimum Service Package
The MHPSS Minimum Service Package (MSP) defines a single intersectoral package of minimum MHPSS activities to be delivered in all humanitarian emergencies across Protection, Education and Health. By prioritizing activities, the MSP is intended to support humanitarian actors in designing and implementing a timely, coordinated, predictable, and evidence-informed MHPSS response. This will help to ensure that people in crisis worldwide have access to a minimum range and quality of MHPSS services. The MSP has been developed by WHO and UNICEF, in collaboration with UNHCR and UNFPA.
The field test version of the MSP is now available in English, Spanish, and Ukranian. Interested parties are invited to explore the online platform by registering at https://mhpssmsp.org/en. All registered users will receive a follow-up survey to provide feedback.
