MOSS
Joint = The concept of Separate Coordinating Bodies (IA, SCHR, ICVA, CONCORD) working in a
coordinated fashion.
1. SITUATION:
a. General. The JNGO will respond for opening or operating a Safety/Logistics Coordination Cell
in emergency, non-permissive and uncertain environments. The JNGO will bridge the gap between the
United Nations Department of Safety and Safety (UNDSS), OCHA and the International Non-
Governmental Organizations (INGO’s) and other logistical support mechanisms. This plan is the
baseline/best-practices for opening a coordination cell. It describes the responsibilities and
requirements for a full spectrum Open The Coordination Cell (OTCC) mission to include all
administrative and operational personnel. This plan establishes responsibilities and is the
baseline/best-practices from which paring; tailoring or other contingencies could begin.
b. Open The Coordination Cell (OTCC) baseline is configured to operate in permissive and
uncertain environments within 18 hours of the onset an Emergency or serious change in Humanitarian
Safety.
2. ASSUMPTIONS:
a. Deployed timeline provides enough time for planning and coordination (18 hrs in
permissive/uncertain, 72 hours plus for non-permissive) for a deployment. Deployments to other may
require additional time for Safety Risk Management analysis or other specific requirements.
(Depending upon Grants, Donor RampUp, Funding and/or coordinating mechanisms)
3. MISSION:
a. Open The Coordination Cell to support Safety, logistical and communication coordination
between humanitarian relief and development organizations, the UN, Donors and other actors.
4. INTENT:
a. Purpose: Provide a centralized location that collects, manages and disseminates Safety,
Logistical and communication information and equipment in order to collectively protect and serve
relief efforts in an effective and efficient process. OTCC will also serve to assist in Mapping, Alert
and Flash messaging, as well as monitoring regions that may become volatile under dynamic and
uncertain conditions. Additionally Emergency, Evacuation, and Communications support could be
assisted.
b. Method: This template VIA speed (preplanning and positioning), Safety management
methodologies and coordination in order to assist in determining environments fertile for
programming. Maintain communication to provide a coordinated, full spectrum effort of Safety
objectives.
c. End State: Safe mission accomplishment, customer support and transition from emergency
personnel to donor supported prolonged efforts. Each year, change of a security phase, or as directed)
a Safety Risk Assessment will be completed and presented to the Coordinating Management Team
4
InterAction Safety DRAFT
(CMT). An evaluation will be conducted by the CMT, users and/or other peer organizations in order
to demonstrate capabilities, additional funding, capabilities, and effectiveness.
5. EXECUTION:
a. Concept: Opening the Coordination Cell occurs in 3 phases and includes 4 decision points.
These phases are event driven. The 3 phases are sequential in nature. A scaled down expedited
deployment might combine or skip phase I, II or III. Phases and Decision Points may be re-defined
prior to mission execution, as needed by the Joint Assessment Team (JAT).
b. Phase I – Open The Coordination Cell: This phase begins with the deployment of a InterAction
members into a crisis situation. The InterAction Security Advisory Group (SAG) as well as members
as well as and other collaborative bodies deploy into a region. In a coordinated fashion (IA, ICVA
SCHR, Etc.) will establish a Joint Assessment Team (JAT annex ??). The JAT will:
(1) Conduct a Safety Risk Assessment
(2) Determine if a Joint NGO Operations Cell (JNGO) is needed;
(3) Determine the JNGO structure, components and services.
(4) Phase I concludes when; a JNGO (minimum operating office), and/or adequate space are
deemed viable to support the next phase of operations.
(a) Decision Point 1a: There is a center of gravity expressing the need of a JNGO to begin
meetings and provide minimal communications and safety coordination support.
(b) Decision Point 1b: Phase 1 complete, ready to commence the next phase.
c. Phase II – JNGO Open/INGO Reception: Phase II begins when the JNGO is ready to receive
INGO personnel for meetings and activities. Phase II ends when the JNGO is open with sufficient
space, and facilities available to coordinate safety operations as directed by the JAT. INGO personnel
that arrive during Phase II and should be able to obtain Safety and operational briefings and other
services from the Phase II Coordinator.
(1) DP2: Ready to give daily to briefings, fully staffed, provide full spectrum of JAT directed
activities.
d. Phase III – JNGO Open/Initial Dissemination: This phase begins when the JNGO is functioning
as a central point of communication for INGO’s with a Coordinating Management Team (CMT) that
replaces the JAT and is ready to fund and contract continued operations. Phase III ends when a
sufficient donor base has been secured to allow for the ongoing coordination of support services.
(1) DP 3: Mission transfer from Open The Coordination Cell to a fully functioning coordinating
facility that enhances the effectiveness of INGO’s mission.
(2) DP 4: After the JNGO has been operating for a period of one year some donors will require a
different funding mechanism. An evaluation will be conducted annually or as directed by the
CMT.
6. LOGISTICS:
The JNGO is designed to be effective and a model for standardizing structure, output, and other activities
for coordinating mechanisms globally. It will deploy with requisite personnel and equipment necessary to
ensure minimal inter/intra emergency Safety, logistic coordination and communication requirements.
a. Concept of Logistics Support. The JNGO will deploy with sufficient supply levels to self
sustain for 60 days. (Consortium Support, IA, ICVA, other members). The JNGO will then develop
locally supplied support after day sixty through user donations and grants.
b. When practical the JNGO will coordinate mutual support requirements expected to exist via
collaboration with the UN and local vendors in order to maximize logistics efficiencies.
5
InterAction Safety DRAFT
c. When practical the JNGO will establish Donor Support grants, via other mechanisms for
primary logistics sustainment options.
7. SAFETY:
The JAT will establish Safety operations in a coordinated fashion in order to enhance and prevent the
duplication of efforts for the region. Establish liaison with Host Nation (HN) Security Forces,
Regional Safety Officer (RSO), and the UNDSS to define operations. NOTE: Safety situations are
unique and depend upon area awareness and Safety Risk Management therefore equipment should be
deployed to assist the JAT in protection.
10. INFORMATION:
To coordinate critical information and prevent inadvertent release which may adversely affect mission
success. Information that is sensitive to the mission and should not be disclosed to unauthorized
personnel. Use secure means to discuss Critical Information (CI) items and destroy related documents.
An information Safety policy must be determined by the JAT within 36 hours of arrival or as soon as
possible depending upon operational activity or as determined by the JAT.
11. CAPABILITIES:
(1) Staff Support. Deployments to extremely austere locations that may create significant stress
on individuals or are expected to exceed 30 days should include access to counseling.
The following capabilities must be prepared as a follow-on to assist NGO’s augment the JNGO
(2) MINE - Explosive Ordinance awareness
(3) Safety Coordination
(4) Internet Café
(5) Logistic Plans
(6) Emergency/Evacuation Plan Coordination
(7) Warden System
(8) Vehicle and personnel tracking
(9) Communications network including VSAT and VTC as determined by the JAT.
(10) ALERT/FLASH communications as well as assessment, analysis and incident tracking
mechanisms.
(11) Training/Awareness programs

12. COORDINATION
a. Coordination Relationships. Upon implementation of Phase III, the JNGO will be accountable
to the Coordination Management Team (CMT) as the CMT transitions from the JAT.
b. Coordination and Communications Systems. The JNGO will establish an integrated Operations
Center (OC), composed a collection, management and dissemination team, they will provide trend
analysis and 24 hour capability to advise in emergency situations. Services will NOT duplicate the
SIOC of the UNDSS. The OC will enhance the capability of both the entities by creating a shared
lexicon. Through ‘Saving Lives Together’ a platform of sharing information with the UNDSS has
already been established. Annex A.
c. Succession of Coordination: The JNGO Coordinator or his designated mission Coordinator will
be in command of the EOC, Open The Coordination Cell Enabling Concept (Final Draft). In the
absence of the JNGO Coordinator for any reason, the next officer in the chain will assume the lead
