Material Aid Handbook
February 1, 2009
The Material Aid Handbook is intended to serve both as a guide to Mercy Corps staff and as a resource to external Collaborating Agencies as they plan, carry out and evaluate material aid projects. This handbook also provides general information about the Material Aid Department and Material Aid programming. It is a "living document" that will be revised and updated as needed. We welcome all feedback on how to improve future versions.
Mercy Corps' Material Aid Department (known in other agencies as a Gift-in-Kind Department) facilitates the donations and transportation of materials from a donor to a project. It also provides logistical support and services to the entire organization, as well as to selected NGO Collaborating Agencies.
The Material Aid Department exists to support Mercy Corps' mission and programs through: effective use of resources, outreach to partners and increasing agency visibility.
