MHPSS Minimum Service Package

The MHPSS MSP outlines a set of activities that are considered to be of the highest priority in meeting the immediate critical needs of emergency-affected populations, based on existing guidelines, available evidence and expert consensus. Each activity comes with checklists of core and additional actions.

In principle, MSP activities, and respective core actions, can be implemented within a 12-month timeframe, and most will need to continue beyond that. The checklists of additional actions should be reviewed in each context to determine their level of priority and sequence, based on local needs and available resources.
