  10. Aims of an assessment

  11. The main objective of an assessment is to get a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the context, the stakeholders involved, the problems faced by people directly or indirectly affected by the crisis, and the strategies that they have put in place in response to the crisis. • How the assessment is conducted can make the difference between a meaningful programme and a project that is of little value to the affected population. Too often, this phase is carried out using an extractive approach, leading to an incomplete or biased analysis of the situation and associated problems.

  12. WHAT IS A PROBLEM? A PROBLEM Is an uncomfortable situation for somebody in a given context

  13. PRESENT - FUTUR A project PROJECT PRESENT SITUATION DESIRED SITUATION EXTERNAL SUPPORT From NGOS

  14. PROBLEMATIC SITUATION A good and comprehensive assessment Understanding The crisis and Its effects Understanding Who is Who Understanding The context THE POPULATION, ITS PROBLEMS AND WORRIES Understanding needs, expectations and demands Understanding capacities and coping strategies

  15. STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES INTERESTS AID ORGANIZATIONS POSITIONING NGO IO Population ONU DONOR LOCAL COMMITTEE Local humanitarian organizations FAMILIES LOCAL NGO Community- Based Organisation GOVERNMENTS WEAKNESSES STRENGTHS INFLUENCE AND POWER

  18. Evaluation from the participants • More details on assessment • Before we did not enough focus on assessment, we have understood that doing an assessment is important Lack of training for the Baseline Survey Usefull to learn about the Project cycle, (need to learn about more assessment Tools). We have realized the links in between the project phases and the importance of quality. Find the reason of the different problems is very important if you want to change the situations where many problems are interlinked. The donors already ask to focus on this kind of project or areas and we have to fit in his framework. Hands on training
