HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE CONSULTING
Assessment Recap…
§ Rapid assessments: follow-up, likely to be in relief sector.
§ Must balance speed with accuracy.
§ Gather information from both field work and secondary sources and cross check.
§ Agree on the purpose, parameters and audience of your assessment.
§ Refer to Sphere standards, checklists, and your intuition.
Assessments provide an understanding of the disaster… and clear analysis of threats … to determine … the nature of the response.
- Sphere Common Standard 2

Now We Know....
How much of what should go to which communities? § Numbers, populations § Their needs include ….
Rarely enough resources for entire affected population….
We Need to Know…. Target group • The number of people affected and who they are within that

HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE CONSULTING HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE CONSULTING
Key Terms
Identification § Knowing which individuals and communities are affected by a
disaster through targeting process § Who specifically will receive assistance
Beneficiary List § List of people who have been identified to receive Relief
assistance; list may change between distribution cycles Registration
§ Describes ACTIVITY of collecting and formally recording specific information about individuals
HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE CONSULTING HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE CONSULTING
Targeting Criteria Who are the “Most Vulnerable”
§ Severely affected by disaster and are
least able to recover using their own means.
§ Can be thought of as individuals, families, or communities.
Example Criteria § Children attending school § Single headed
households § All families with houses
damaged by flooding § Families living in shelters § Families hosting relatives
affected by disaster
HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE CONSULTING HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE CONSULTING

Additional Considerations
§ What is the Relief ERU most suited to do?
§ How can the Relief ERU add value?
§ What are the number of people Relief ERU can assist?
§ How accurate is the assessment information?
§ Is it likely ERU would do repeated distributions?

Think back ….to when it didn’t go so well…
§ Were there any criteria for the initial disaster response? § Were they at the community, household or individual level? § Who decided them? § Were they clear? § Do you felt they captured the ‘most vulnerable’? § Did those criteria change over time? § What circumstances led to those changes? How were the
changed communicated to the community and other agencies? § What was the reaction?

Truck and Dump…
The Relief Team adds value to the process of providing relief by: § Assessing and targeting the “right” people § Adhering to Distribution with Dignity principles This means that we don’t throw stuff off the back of
trucks. Ever. Or do we?

Why do we Identify/Register?
§ Number for assistance § Entitled to relief items § Planning § Find the intended beneficiaries
Who is/should be the lead in this process?

Identification Continuum
Ticket/Token Beneficiary List Registration
Humanitarian imperative Acute emergency Entire communities affected
Situation is manageable Populations relatively stable Able to accurately identify affected population
Ongoing distributions Available and skilled volunteers
Fast – give ticket or token
May make or receive list, but likely to have inconsistencies
Significant human resources and time
Do not collect/keep names Keep names for possible future distributions
Collect disaggregated family information
Global numbers Difficult to target vulnerable Allows for some control at distribution sites
More accurate beneficiary data for additional targeting
Allows for significant measures, controls for current and future programs

Targeting Key Points
§ Assessments -- How much of what should go to which communities?
§ Targeting – identifies specific vulnerabilities and needs within
a larger group § Targeting criteria are agreed, transparent, defined and
communicated and can be at the individual, family or community level
§ NS should lead and own this process
§ Identification and registration activities must match the context – what do you need to know and why
