Agency Shock Agnostic Readiness and Response Portal (SHARP)

The new Agency Shock Agnostic Readiness and Response Portal (SHARP) is a comprehensive repository that provides USAID’s Operating Units with access to the more than 85 operational and programmatic resources to help prepare for and navigate shocks and crises, including social fragility, public health emergencies, food insecurity, natural disasters, among others. SHARP is the culmination of three years of COVID-19 monitoring, evaluation, and learning efforts, including the COVID-19 Big Picture Reflection on pandemic responses and adaptations. It was developed by PLR in close collaboration with a number of Operating Units across the Agency. SHARP is currently managed and maintained by the Management Bureau’s Critical Coordination Structure (M/CCS) as an important addition to the operational readiness portfolio.
