Measure

Exercise: Measurement (5 mins individual exercise) Imagine you have to prove that this is an actual real can of Coke with real Coke inside How would you do it? This is a small exercice on measurement. Assessmetns intend to measure needs, but what is measurement exactly. In this game, the particiapnts needs to come back with some innovative solution such as: I open the can of coca cola and i ask 10 peopel with previous experience of coca cola to taste it and tell me if it seems to be coca cola I can run to the shop and buy randomly some can of coca cola, and then compare weight, taste, nosie when i open or composition when i mix with water so i can compare between real can and my can Etc etc. The goal of the exercice is to make people understand that we never really measure scientifically needs. We barelly circle aroudn the issues. We nver really measure how much Kilo calory per day people eat. We estimate it, by asking question about proxies.

IASC Operational Guidance for CA The Operational Guidance promotes a coordinated approach to assessments in order to address a number of recurring issues during emergencies. For example, there is not so much a lack of assessment information as a lack of capacity to validate and analyse the information necessary to determine priorities and guide planning of the humanitarian response.

Multi-Cluster/Sector Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA) The Multi-Cluster/Sector Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA – revision 2015) is a joint needs assessment tool that can be used in sudden onset emergencies, including IASC System-Wide level 3 Emergency Responses (L3 Responses).
