This document summarizes the Minimum Economic Recovery Standards published by The SEEP Network, which is a global network of 130 organizations dedicated to reducing poverty. The standards provide guidance on economic recovery after crises to help people earn incomes, maintain dignity, and recover from disasters. The standards were developed over several years with input from over 60 organizations and focus on strategies to improve enterprises, employment, and cash flow for affected communities. The intended audience includes humanitarian practitioners and the standards are meant to promote quality, consistency, education, and accountability across economic recovery programs.
