Humanitarian Response and Coordination
Humanitarian assessments
The assessment of an emergency situation and prioritization of the needs of affected people lay the foundation for humanitarian response. For protracted crises, i-APS provides in-depth assessments to inform the design of a more complex and relevant response.
i-APS supports multi-stakeholder assessments coordinated by external actors, into which a range of other organizations provide input, and whose findings are utilized by consortia, clusters or networks.
Examples
- Rapid humanitarian needs assessments
- Cash-based response feasibility assessments
- Market assessments in sectors such as shelter, agriculture and logistics
- Market value chain assessments
- Labor market and vocational training assessments
- Economic impact analyses
Humanitarian Response and Coordination
The i-APS team of experts can assist the client before, during and after a humanitarian response, whether for a natural disaster, a famine or a civil armed conflict.
We can help prepare for a natural disaster through, for example training of staff and improved planning. Our teams are on stand-by to deploy to emergency situations to manage the response across a range of sectors; and our staff can support the recov-ery response strategy as well.
