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?

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
