  1. FUNCTION 2 – ‘INFORMING STRATEGIC DECISION-MAKING’: Needs assessment and response gap analysis across sectors and within the sector • MODULE 2 – S1

  2. Informing strategic decision-making of the HC/HCT • Needs assessment and response gap analysis (across sectors and within sectors) • Analysis to identify and address (emerging) gaps, obstacles, duplication and cross-cutting issues • Prioritization, grounded in response analysis

  3. How do we inform strategic decision-making? • By Gathering and Analysing information • By Advocating within and across the sectors

  4. What is information management? An on-going process of making the information around us usable for planning and programming purposes.

  5. What kinds of information do we need to collect, analyse and disseminate for the CP coordination group? • Information about: • Needs • Response

  6. How do we collect info on Needs and Response?

  7. CPWG IM Tools – Contact List

  8. CPWG IM Tools – Meeting Minutes

  9. CPWG IM Tools – WWW Matrix

  10. How can we present info on Needs and Response?

  11. CPWG IM Tools – Desk Review

  22. Assessment Framework • Phase 0: Preparedness Data and assessment preparedness Phase 1: First 72 Hours Preliminary Scenario Definition (PSD) as part of MIRA Phase 2: First 2 weeks Data collection as part of MIRA Phase 3: Week 3+ Single sector/cluster needs assessments Phase 4: Second month+ Continue single sector/cluster needs assessments, link with PDNA

  23. The Child Protection Rapid Assessment (CP RA)

  24. Steps to Plan and Implement a CPRA

  25. Introduction to the CP RA toolkit Components of the CPRA toolkit Short Guide to CPRA Sample Tools Data Management Tool Coordination and planning Sampling Data collection teams Analysis and interpretation Report writing Desk Review Direct Observation Key Informant Interview Site Report Urgent Action Form Data entry Frequency analysis Graphs

  26. Objectives of a CP Rapid Assessment • SCALEof needs and protection risks (general and overall); • PRIORITIES for required response – geographic and programmatic areas of priority, from which funding priorities can be agreed; • HOWsuch response should be configured – including what existing capacities the response can build on;

  27. Why conduct an inter-agency assessment? We should only conduct a needs assessment if the information we need for response is not available in other forms. Challenges: Expensive, time consuming, resource heavy and at times dangerous. Benefits: Reliable, time and location specific, and provides a baseline for future use. Adds credibility to our sector by: encouraging inter-agency collaboration from the early days of an emergency. Improves the evidence base in the sector.

  28. What We Need to Know - WWNK • The basis of any needs assessment is a series of unknowns and/orlittle-knowns that we wish to learn about. These are called: What We Need to Know, or the “WWNKs”. • The entire CPRA tool is designed to inform WWNKs. • It is imperative that the list of WWNKs are revised based on the local context, as the first step in adapting the assessment tools.

  29. What We Need to Know - WWNK • PRIORITY issues we need to know about in the RAPID IMMEDIATE phase: • Separation of children from their families; • Physical risks and hazards to children; • Recruitment, association of children with armed groups and participation of children in conflict or violence; • Gender-based violence and exploitation • Psychosocial distress, coping mechanism and capacities.

  30. What is a Desk Review? • Undertaking a Desk Review is a key and necessary component of the CP RA. Desk Review will help in many ways, including: • Collecting information on WWNKs; • Revising and adapting the tools to the local context, and • Triangulation and interpretation of data during and after analysis.

  31. Phase 1 – Desk Review • Do any of your countries already have desk reviews and base data ready? • Let’s look at some examples of desk reviews - + and – • Now let’s look at the desk review template • Create and Action Plan for your desk review
