Special needs, such as emergencies due to floods, earthquake, drought, Tsunami and the like as well as other disasters caused by Nature or by humans may arise within the country and ActionAid may require giving special attention and providing special skills expeditiously.

Experience indicates that those in charge of emergency work and those required to respond to the call of emergencies are often compelled by circumstances to draw upon human resources with very little time available for normal recruitment procedures and due processes.

Having reviewed these experiences, HR has prepared a set of specific norms to ensure 'fast track' recruitment alongwith minimum substantive and procedural requirements in order to meet urgent exigencies that arise at the time of emergencies.
