  1. TOOLKIT 5.3 ASSESSING DAMAGE, NEEDS & RESOURCES OF THE AFFECTED POPULATION

  2. CONTENTS • Overview (what?) • Rationale (why?) • Timing for needs assessments (when?) • Steps in undertaking needs assessments (how?) • Resources

  3. WHAT?

  4. AUDIENCE • FIELD-BASED RELIEF & RECOVERY PLANNERS & MANAGERS • ESPECIALLY FROM AFFECTED COUNTRY’S GOVERNMENT

  5. UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES • Incremental upgrading from emergency to durable solutions asap • Households & communities supported to identify & implement their own shelter solutions

  6. KEY RESOURCES • SPHERE, CHAPTER 4 • TRANSITIONAL SETTLEMENTS (CORSELLIS/VITALE) • EMERGENCY NEEDS ASSESSMENTS (ICRC/IFRC) • THE GOOD ENOUGH GUIDE (ECBP) • PARTICIPATORY ASSESSMENT (UNHCR) • PARTICIPATION BY CRISIS-AFFECTED POPULATIONS IN HUMANITARIAN ACTION, CHAPTER 10 (ALNAP) • HOUSING RECONSTRUCTION AFTER CONFLICT & DISASTER (ODI/HPN – BARAKAT)

  7. WHY? “While good information does not always guarantee a good program, bad information almost certainly guarantees a bad program.”

  8. WHY? • EVALUATION FINDINGS: CONSEQUENCES OF POOR NEEDS ASSESSMENTS IN SHELTER/HOUSING • INTRODUCES CONCEPT OF CONTINUOUS NEEDS ASSESSMENT THROUGHOUT RELIEF & RECOVERY PROGRAMMING

  9. WHEN? • Agencies should not delay the initial deployment of resources until perfect information is received. But they should adjust activities as the quality of information improves. Assessment and implementation must run in parallel.

  10. WHEN? 1. RAPID ASSESSMENT (0-7 DAYS) 2. IN-DEPTH ASSESSMENT (0-30 DAYS +) 3. MONITORING & EVALUATION (CONTINUOUS)

  11. HOW? • REVIEW SECONDARY INFORMATION (DON’T REINVENT THE WHEEL, UNDERSTAND THE PAST, IS FIELD ASSESSMENT REQUIRED?) • COORDINATE WITH OTHERS (JOINT ASSESSMENTS, CLUSTERS, ETC) • IDENTIFY KEY STAKEHOLDERS & VULNERABLE GROUPS (FACTORS THAT MAY POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY AFFECT IMPLEMENTATION OF SHELTER SOLUTIONS)

  12. HOW? • SELECTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT TEAM, AREAS TO SURVEY, METHODS TO USE (KEY PRINCIPLES OF FIELDWORK) • ANALYSIS, CONSOLIDATION AND VALIDATION OF FINDINGS

  13. INFORMATION CATEGORIES

  14. QUESTION?? • KEY GAP - 24 AND 72 HOUR ASSESSMENT FORMS • SHOULD AGENCIES DEVELOP & TEST A COMMON BASIC PRO FORMA?
