Quotes from the Field: Pakistan… & Pacific
Pakistan
“We have a proliferation of assessments…nearly each organization does its own assessment, often with no coordination even within their respective cluster. Regularly, questionnaires are badly designed with inappropriate, insensitive and/or misleading questions and analysis is not done. Hence there is a lot of work needed to get assessments right. (Manuel Bessler, former OCHA HoO)”

IASC OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR ASSESSMENT IN HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
IASC Operational Guidance for Assessment in
Humanitarian Crisis - OverviewShared commitment to • work together on identifying needs• collectively agreeing on the characterization of
strategic priorities in response to an emergency
Provides • definitions, • roles & responsibilities• recommended methodologies • tools for use at different points in an emergency
Includes guidance on • Multi-Cluster/Sector Initial Rapid Need
Assessment (MIRA)• Assessment reports and content
Objectives of national workshops
• Develop national Coordinated Needs Assessment (CNA) Framework
• Based on the national CAN Framework, agree on key elements in preparing for assessments, such as coordination structure.
• Develop draft CNA Preparedness Plan based on prioritised weaknesses and gaps that need to be addressed in future.
Regular reports, imagery, updates, warnings etc…
Continuous reporting on Evacuation centre numbers, status and needs
Monitoring reports are shared regularly

Existing capacity in-country with required skills and knowledge
Preparing for assessmentsMechanisms in place to undertake timely and quality collection and analysis of data on needs:
• Agree on assessment coordination structures. • Review whats in place; existing assessment planning• Set out collaborative arrangements relative to the assessment. Agree on
standard operating procedures, draft terms of reference for an Assessment Working Group,
• Prepare CODs.• Identify the key humanitarian indicators to be collected.• Compile baseline data and risk analyses. Work with partners to collect
baseline data, populate key indicator sets, and compile common datasets. • Develop assessment tools and data collection methodology for Phases 1 to 4.• Ensure the organization of logistics and human resources. • Define the parameters of the assessment design.• Agee on process for disseminating the findings
