  1. AGENDA

  2. INTRODUCTION TO THE KIRA

  3. WHAT IS IT? The Kenya Initial Rapid Assessment (KIRA) is: • Multi-sector • Multi-agency • Fast turn-around • For rapid onset • Output = shared situational picture • Evidence base for strategic decision making

  4. Pressure on humanitarian actors to respond Pressure on Donors to allocate funds Lack of timely, credible Information Poorly Informed Decision Making THE PROBLEM

  5. WHY ? Lack of coordinated rapid assessments in Kenya. Previously: • Multiple Assessments • Multiple Methodology • Multiple Report • What is the big picture?

  6. WHY ? Lack of coordinated rapid assessments in Kenya. Previously: • Single Methodology • Comparable over locations • Can be compiled as one report • What is the big picture?

  7. OTHER ADVANTAGES • Jointly owned – everyone has access to the data • Findings jointly agreed • More efficient use of resources • Shared learning/best practice • Reduced beneficiary fatigue • More validation/triangulation between info sources • Humanitarian actors can speak with a common voice IF DONE WELL: • Precedent for a coordinated response • Greater transparency in strategic decision making • More appropriate response = ACCOUNTABILITY

  8. WHAT IS IT NOT The Kenya Initial Rapid Assessment (KIRA) is not: • A replacement for detailed sectoral assessment • Statistically representative • Counting things directly (numbers come from secondary data sources)

  9. Rapid Vs. Detailed Sectoral Assessment – When? What info. does it provide to decision makers? TIMELINE OF ASSESSMENTS ~Day 3 ~Day 15 ~Day 30 Phase III Disaster Phase I Phase II 0-72 hours D Initial 1-2 weeks Sector reports Sector reports Sector reports Sector reports Sector / Clusters reports give detail on impact of disaster (areas, groups, sectors) and inform relief programming inform relief and recovery programming Confirm scale and severity, priority needs, and identify constraints

  10. WHO SHOULD BE PART OF KIRA? Any organisation with a humanitarian focus: • GoK – national and local • KRCS • NGOs • UN agencies • CBOs • FBOs • Donors • Anyone

  11. DEVELOPMENT OF THE KIRA

  12. PROJECT STAGES

  13. DESIGN PROCESS Primary Secondary Assessment framework

  14. OBJECTIVES

  15. GLOBAL BEST PRACTICE

  16. OPERATIONALISATION • Part of contingency planning process • Decentralised • Capacity building while testing • Learn by doing

  17. KIRA METHODOLOGY

  18. DISSEMINATION ANALYSIS Elements of the KIRA Secondary data Pre - Crisis Lessons Learned In Crisis data Lessons Learnt & information Primary data DATA CONSOLIDATION

  19. Who/What How Many • Who are the most affected? • Where are the most affected areas? • What are the most affected sectors? • What to do next? How much Where

  20. WHAT IS SECONDARY DATA? Data collected for purposes other than the rapid needs assessment Why collect it? • Better use of time and resources • Availability • Improved quality of data • more datasets • more disaggregated data • Shared situational awareness of the ‘before’ picture

  21. KNOWLEDGE TIMELINE Primary data Secondary data in-crisis % of available information Secondary data pre crisis Time Event Phase I Phase II Phase III

  22. PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION

  23. EXAMPLE: DISPLACEMENT PROFILE Non Displaced Displaced Friend/ Relative Public Buildings Hosting Non Host Camps Informal Formal Friend/ Relative Church Hosting Non Host Police buildings School

  24. ASSESSMENT TEAM COMPOSITION • Multi-agency • Multi-sector • Team leader who understands the KIRA methodology • At least 2 men and 2 women • Common language to community • Knowledge of location and local context within team

  25. PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION TOOLS • Guidelines on procedure • Direct observation module (checklist) • Community module for : • Community Group discussion (M/F) • Community Key informant (M/F) • Specialist Key Informant Removed for now

  26. PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION TOOLS

  27. COMMUNITY MODULE • Section 1: Site Information • Section 2: Problem areas (eg food, water) • - Is it a problem area? • - What are the key issues? • - Was this caused by the event? • Section 3: Prioritisation of top issues • What are the top three greatest issue sfor the community right now? • Which are the groups in the community who are most affected/vulnerable to this issue?

  28. COMMUNITY MODULE • How to use the community module? • Facilitated conversation • One interviewer, one note taker • Use question tittle to start the conversation • Issues are NOT read out – these are for classifying answers only • NOTE: REQUIRES FAMILIARILY WITH THE TOOL TO USE EFFECTIVELY

  29. SAMPLING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY MALE COMMUNITY GROUP DISCUSSION FEMALE COMMUNITY GROUP DISCUSSION MINIMUM OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL FEMALE KEY INFORMANT MALE KEY INFORMANT

  30. INFORMATION PROCESSING STEPS • Interpret • Analyse • Collect and consolidate 2 1 3 Identify

  31. CONSOLIDATION BY SITE MALE COMMUNITY GROUP DISCUSSIONS FEMALE COMMUNITY GROUP DISCUSSION ONE MALE PERSPECTIVE ONE FEMALE PERSPECTIVE FEMALE KEY INFORMANTS MALE KEY INFORMANT

  32. INFORMATION PROCESSING STEPS • Collect and consolidate • Interpret • Analyse 1 2 3 Identify

  33. Other kind of comparisons Region A Region B Compare Compare Compare Younger people Older people

  34. INFORMATION PROCESSING STEPS • Collect and consolidate • Analyse • Interpret 1 2 3 Identify What is important Why is it important

  35. consolidation

  36. ASSESSMENT REPORT • 4 page report Context Methodology Priority needs Response Capacity Constraints Information Gaps Recommendations

  37. REPORT TEMPLATE

  38. MECHANISM

  39. RESOURCING • Multi-agency resourcing • Everyone contributes what they can • Vehicles • Staff • Logistical arrangements – eg connection to local partners (CBO, faith based, etc) • Security • Communications (radios) • Facilities (for analysis/write up)

  40. Risk Map • Reviewed with UWIANO, UNDP, NDOC, KRCS • Basis for Scenario and hub coverage

  41. Hub Coordination • 8 Hubs • Focal points: WFP, UNICEF, WVI, NRC, IOM, CONCERN, SC, IR • Support GoK coordination • Develop local CP • Information /3W

  42. HUB COORDINATION OF KIRA MECHANISM • Capacity building • Triggers • Local arrangements • Review of methodology • ‘Roster’ of trained personnel • Potential for pre-existing agreements regarding resource availability

  43. AREAS OF POTENTIAL SUPPORT FROM NAIROBI • Secondary data – pre-crisis • Additional field staff • Guidance on managing process • Technical support • Lessons learnt
