Guidelines for Emergency Assessment IFRC (2005)
1.1 Why is an assessment methodology necessary?
Assessment is a vital element of the programme-planning process. Assessment provides the information on which decisions will be made. Whilst good information does not guarantee a good programme, poor information almost certainly guarantees a bad one. The use of a standard methodology means that information can be compared with data collected during previous assessments.
2.2 Who will use these guidelines?
The guidelines are designed for use by anyone undertaking an assessment:
■ All members of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
■ Generalists – no specific technical knowledge is required to use them.
