You are the Humanitarian Response Lead from $\text{'}$FGT Advisors', an organisation which assists governments to develop strategies for combating humanitarian crises. You've worked successfully with the Wakandan Government to develop methods and strategies for responding to various crises, thus they were very successful in responding to the earthquake disaster.

Develop a $10-$slide presentation of various strategies and methods you considered in your solution. Your presentation should answer the subsequent questions comprehensively.

Question $1$: Critical Analysis of Humanitarian Operations Phases

i$.$ Elaborate on how the consideration of the three phases of humanitarian operations: Preparation, Emergency humanitarian operations $($immediate response$),$ and Post$-$emergency humanitarian operations $($reconstruction$/$recovery$)$ was critical for the development of your solution. Discuss the importance of each phase in the context of Wakanda.

ii$.$ How did the preparation phase set the foundation for effective humanitarian supply chain operations, and what key decisions did you recommend be considered during this phase that impacts the subsequent flow of material?

iii. In the immediate response phase, characterized by uncertainty and volatile environments, what consideration did you make regarding challenges that humanitarian organisations might face in delivering aid, and did you propose that the Wakandan Government navigate these challenges to ensure the effective alleviation of suffering and saving lives?

iv$.$ As the environment became more stable in the post$-$emergency phase, explain the transition to reconstruction and recovery projects. What recommendation did you make regarding considerations that humanitarian organizations should take into account during this phase, and how did you propose they contribute to handing over operations to local organizations or development agencies?

ii$.$ Humanitarian operations often involve a wide range of activities beyond the four main categories mentioned by the Sphere Project. What additional activities did

you make to the Wakandan Government regarding additional activities outside of the four main categories and explain their significance in supporting affected communities.

Question $3$: International Disaster Relief System $($IDRS$)$ and Humanitarian Reforms

i$.$ According to the International Disaster Relief System $($IDRS$),$ different actors operate at various levels $($I to V$)$ during the relief process. In the form of a detailed figure, present a framework that you proposed the Wakandan Government should employ when arranging stakeholders that are critical to disaster relief. Discuss the proposed roles of primary donors $($Level I$),$ secondary donors $($Level II$),$ and humanitarian organizations at Levels III, IV$,$ and V$.$ In your discussion, include challenges that the Wakandan Government must bear in mind when coordinating these different levels.

ii$.$ The Humanitarian Reform introduced the Cluster Approach, dividing humanitarian response into sectoral groups or clusters. In your solutions, present advantages and challenges of this recommended approach, particularly in terms of coordinating different sectoral groups. Elaborate on how the sectoral classification can be leveraged in addressing specific needs during a disaster.
