This module focuses on the third step of Emergency Response Preparedness (ERP) planning i.e., Step 3 Mapping existing capacities for Nutrition response. 

During this module, you will understand the importance of reviewing and documenting existing capacities and resources focusing on coordination and Information Management (IM) capacities, on capacities for assessments and for Nutrition response provision. 

You will see how this step of the ERP process allows identifying potential gaps, that can then be translated into preparedness actions toward improving the Nutrition cluster/sector capacity to timely and effectively respond to emergencies.
