Mapping EDR mechanisms
EDR means Early Detection and Response. Mapping helps identify existing mechanisms, the functions performed by different actors and the connections that need strengthening.
From research to a working mechanism
- 01Context
- 02Coordination
- 03Gaps
- 04Recommendations
From research to a working mechanism
- Review the context and existing mechanisms
- Map actors, functions and coordination
- Identify gaps in access, coordination and feedback
- Validate findings with participants and develop recommendations
What a partner receives
- An overview of mechanisms and coordination arrangements
- An analytical report with explicit data limitations
- Recommendations for coordination and feedback
- Proposals for monitoring and capacity development
The approach draws on methodological work for Bovari: Safe Communities in Tajikistan and Beyond.
This website describes the methodology. Lists containing personal data, local coordinators’ contact details, information on individual cases and detailed vulnerability maps are not published. Public findings are presented in aggregate form.
EDR: roles and coordination
An illustrative mapping exercise. Select a task to explore how organizations coordinate their activities.
A clear entry point
- 01
Identify the need
Identify where a person can find information about available support.
- 02
Coordinate the response
Clarify organizational roles and the conditions for referrals with the person’s consent.
- 03
Review the result
Collect only necessary information and check service accessibility.
Clear responsibilities
- 01
Identify the need
Compare organizational roles and identify gaps or duplication.
- 02
Coordinate the response
Agree on procedures for transferring tasks, timeframes and the responsibilities of participating organizations.
- 03
Review the result
Test the pathway with a fictional example and record its limitations.
A mechanism that can improve
- 01
Identify the need
Identify a safe channel for reporting difficulties in accessing support.
- 02
Coordinate the response
Review aggregate feedback without publishing personal accounts.
- 03
Review the result
Refine procedures and check whether the pathway has become clearer.
An illustrative model, not an individual risk assessment or operational protocol. Actual pathways are developed with partners, respecting consent, confidentiality and professional mandates.
