RECAP will focus on acute and protracted humanitarian crises related to armed conflict, natural disasters, forced migration, and epidemics. Humanitarian crises and their impact on health and related sectors can pose major obstacles to international development and the achieving the SDGs. Effective decision-making by humanitarian actors is essential in humanitarian response. Accurate and timely information and evidence is essential in achieving effective decision-making. For example, through setting evidence-based standards and performance measurement against those standards, assessing needs and effectiveness in meeting those needs, ensuring value for money, and supporting accountability to recipients of humanitarian programmes and those programmes. Yet current interventions are impeded by limited data, capacity, guidance, and ethical preparedness with consequent implications for accountability. Work on protection is central to supporting accountability through seeking to ensure authorities and other humanitarian actors respect their obligations and the rights of individuals and vulnerable populations.RECAP's vision is to strengthen research capacity and capability to generate knowledge on how to improve decision-making and accountability to help support preparedness and response to humanitarian crises. RECAP will focus on the sectors of health and protection through overlapping research and capacity building activities. For the research, there are 6 interconnected, interdisciplinary research Objectives/work-packages. These research objectives will also act as platforms for capacity building through applied research methods training. The capacity building activities will be realised through 4 capacity building Objectives on: training on specific research methods linked to the RECAP research; building institutional capacity for a sustainable and supportive research environment; supporting individual researcher capability and career progression; and building UK capability in multi-disciplinary research on health and protection in humanitarian crises. It will be a four year programme.RECAP's strategy to grow research capacity and capability is to establish a unique network of leading academic and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working on health and protection in the context of humanitarian crises. RECAP will be led by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and includes the University of Sierra Leone (USL), the American University of Beirut (AUB), the Refugee Law Initiative at the School of Advanced Study (SAS) in London University, Oxford University, and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). NGOs are the front line actors in humanitarian preparedness and response and so are vital to RECAP. The RECAP NGO partners are Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the International Rescue Committee (IRC), Save the Children UK, and BRAC. They will assist through logistics, technical and other forms of support in the RECAP countries.RECAP will use a hub-and-spoke model; with hubs of the UK, Sierra Leone, and Lebanon for capacity building and research; and spokes of further research sites in NGO partner programmes in ODA countries affected by humanitarian crises (most likely to be Myanmar, South Sudan, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, subject to security and logistical issues).The expected outcomes of RECAP will be: strengthened research capacity and capability among university and NGO partners; the development of a new research network through regional hubs of research and training excellence in the UK, Sierra Leone and Lebanon; research and capacity-building outputs (including open access software platforms and research and training guidelines); and impact through contributions to humanitarian guidelines, programmes and policies. These will strengthen decision-making and accountability in humanitarian crises to improve health, protection and broader development outcomes.

该方案将重点关注与武装冲突、自然灾害、被迫移徙和流行病有关的严重和长期人道主义危机。人道主义危机及其对卫生和相关部门的影响可能对国际发展和实现可持续发展目标构成重大障碍。人道主义行为体的有效决策在人道主义应急行动中至关重要。准确和及时的信息和证据对于实现有效决策至关重要。例如，通过制定循证标准和根据这些标准进行业绩计量，评估需求和满足这些需求的有效性，确保物有所值，并支持对人道主义方案和这些方案的受援国负责。然而，目前的干预措施受到数据、能力、指导和道德准备有限的阻碍，从而影响到问责制。保护工作是通过努力确保当局和其他人道主义行为体尊重其义务以及个人和弱势群体的权利来支持问责制的核心，该区域能力建设方案的愿景是加强研究能力和创造关于如何改进决策和问责制的知识的能力，以帮助支持人道主义危机的准备和应对。该方案将通过重叠的研究和能力建设活动，侧重于卫生和保护部门。对于研究，有6个相互关联的跨学科研究目标/工作包。这些研究目标还将作为通过应用研究方法培训进行能力建设的平台。能力建设活动将通过4个能力建设目标实现：与RECAP研究相关的具体研究方法培训;为可持续和支持性研究环境建设机构能力;支持个人研究人员能力和职业发展;以及建设联合王国在人道主义危机中的健康和保护多学科研究方面的能力。这将是一个为期四年的方案，该方案提高研究能力的战略是建立一个独特的网络，由在人道主义危机背景下从事卫生和保护工作的主要学术和非政府组织组成。该方案将由伦敦卫生和热带医学院牵头，参加者包括塞拉利昂大学、贝鲁特美国大学、伦敦大学高级研究学院难民法倡议、牛津大学和伦敦经济和政治学院。非政府组织是人道主义准备和反应的第一线行为者，因此对RECAP至关重要。RECAP的非政府组织伙伴是无国界医生组织、国际救援委员会、英国拯救儿童组织和BRAC。他们将通过后勤、技术和其他形式的支持在RECAP国家提供协助。RECAP将采用中心辐射模式;以英国、塞拉利昂和黎巴嫩为中心进行能力建设和研究;在受人道主义危机影响的官方发展援助国家的非政府组织伙伴方案中设立更多的研究地点（最有可能是缅甸、南苏丹、乌干达、刚果民主共和国，视安全和后勤问题而定）。通过英国、塞拉利昂和黎巴嫩的区域卓越研究和培训中心开发新的研究网络;研究和能力建设产出（包括开放获取软件平台以及研究和培训指南）;以及通过对人道主义指导方针、计划和政策的贡献产生影响。这将加强人道主义危机中的决策和问责，以改善健康、保护和更广泛的发展成果。
