Indicators and Guidance. Toolbox. This provides guidance documents and tools for needs assessment practitioners. The documents are categorized into two types of documents: handbooks, manuals and guides which guide the planning and implementation of needs assessments. Needs Assessment. Experience has shown that there are significant benefits to coordinating needs assessments and that doing so can help save more lives and restore more people’s livelihoods. The Needs Assessment Task Force (NATF) was established by the IASC in March 2009, in order to improve coordinated assessment processes. To provide a vision on how to conduct coordinated needs assessments , the NATF has produced an Operational Guidance for Coordinated Assessments in Humanitarian Crises.
(create a link here) The NATF commissioned this guidance to help realize the goal of better quality and more timely assessments through coordinated processes. The Guidance establishes a common understanding of how to plan and coordinate joint assessments in different phases of an emergency. The Guidance has been developed based primarily on experiences during early phases of large-scale quick-onset natural disasters, but is also applicable to other types of crises. Home.
