About this Technical Support Package (TSP)
The technical support package acts as an annex to the 'Draft IASC Guidance on Common Operational Datasets (CODs) in Emergency Preparedness and Response' (to be endorsed by the IASC). The package provides detailed technical guidance on managing Common Operational Datasets (CODs). Whereas the IASC Guidance on CODs will remain static following endorsement by the IASC Working Group, this package will be continually updated based on evolving need, practice and technology.
The purpose of the COD -TSP is to support the COD strategy to:
- have accurate, up-to-date and accessible Core and Country-specific CODs available for all countries with ongoing humanitarian operations or that are at high risk of future hazards,
- define a relevant list of Country-specific CODs in all countries with ongoing humanitarian operations or that are at high risk of future hazards, based on local risks and operational factors,
- maintain a centralized repository (HDX) where CODs can be shared and found,
- promote the use of data standards and metadata,
- engage with national governments and civil society.
