For the last half of 2011, most of the activities supported under this appeal have focused on PMI responses to localized emergencies around the country, PMI capacity building, contingency planning, preparedness and disaster mitigation training activities.Additionally, the review and refinement of key PMI guidelines and standard operation procedures for each programme area including finance, human resource and office management was also the highlight of the activities during the second half of 2011. IFRC continues its support in developing PMI's human resource capacity to improve its services to those most vulnerable as well as to improve its profile in public through involvement in various national and international events. These activities will continue in 2012 with focus on the finalization and synchronization of policy guidelines developed this year as well as the follow up IFRC's new framework for stronger National Societies and systems, and proposed integration of community-based programmes.
