This summary of the results of an MISP Readiness assessment conducted by 18 countries in 2014 shows that there is a good enabling environment in most countries to provide SRH services; that the integration of MISP services into the national health emergency response plan and the compliance with international standard is fair on average for each objective; and that the comprehensiveness of planned priority services is best for the MISP Objective 4 dedicated to priority maternal and neonatal health.

Crises with temporary settlements and population movements (in-country or cross-border), however, are not sufficiently addressed in planned services. Finally, a key area of improvement in the preparedness phase is coordination, whether it involves national partners or external actors from other sectors or neighboring countries.
