Why do we do Assessments?
?

Why do we do Assessments?
“While a good assessment does not guarantee a good response, poor assessment information almost certainly guarantees a bad one.”

The Question
Are we good enough at doing assessments?
![Page 5: Coordinated Assessments & ACAPS ( Assessment Capacities Project)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813ad4550346895da30a31/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Global thinking on needs assessments….
One of the biggest outstanding challenges to the humanitarian community
General recognition that current approaches do not provide a coherent picture of humanitarian requirements
multi-sector, inter-agency, timely, quality

AssessmentsWhy so much interest?
![Page 7: Coordinated Assessments & ACAPS ( Assessment Capacities Project)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813ad4550346895da30a31/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Better assessments should = better aid
• humanitarian aid should be based on evidence
• we live in a time where resources are scarce, • we have had collective experience that
should mean we do this better• no commonly accepted methodology for
assessment exists• Assessments are one of the biggest
outstanding challenges

Assessment Framework
ACAPS focuses on Assessment Phase 1 & 2

Coordinated Assessment
Assessments that are planned and carried out in partnership by humanitarian actors,
in order to document the impact of a particular crisis and identify the needs of the affected population,
with the results shared with the broader humanitarian community.

Benefits of coordinated approaches to assessments…
• Coverage increased• Duplication reduced• Early identification of gaps• Priorities (geographic and sectoral) identified• Shared vision encourages better coordination in response• Provides a more independent view of needs and a stronger
evidence base on which to build funding requests• Better use of resources• Less “assessment fatigue”• Utilizes agency/stakeholder strengths weaknesses,
capabilities

Coordinated Assessments
Lessons Learned
• Preparedness improves the quality and the timeliness
• Managing expectations is important• A coordinated approach should begin as
soon as possible
![Page 14: Coordinated Assessments & ACAPS ( Assessment Capacities Project)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813ad4550346895da30a31/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Coordinated AssessmentsLessons Learned
• Over-focus on primary data collection/under-use of secondary data/pre-crisis data
• Nature of the data used shifts over time• Should focus on “good enough” (not perfection)• Identifying how the crisis has changed lives• Tell the story of the assessment
![Page 15: Coordinated Assessments & ACAPS ( Assessment Capacities Project)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813ad4550346895da30a31/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Coordinated Assessment: Analysis
Key Points
• Emphasis on data collection often allows little time for analysis
• Preparing analysis plan upfront is key• Tell the story of the assessment.• The situation is a continuum; yesterday, today
and tomorrow.• Include identification of information gaps

Assessment objectives:
• To provide a shared overview of the situation in all affected areas of the south west
• To identify immediate humanitarian needs that were not addressed
• To understand recovery needs of affected people
