10. What is the 4W? - what - where -when - who “Who is doing what where”

11. What is the 4W? “- an activity database that provides a comprehensive picture of humanitarian food security interventions.”

12. 4W Principles - minimum geographic area: WARD - activity type - targeted population type - HRP targets - cumulative for partner data ownership

13. 4W Outcomes - Sector coordination (activity mapping, contact sharing, sector updates.) - Gap analysis - OCHA dashboard - PMR - Donor communication - etc.

14. The 4W matrix TRAINING

15. Key points in filling out the matrix
Minimum one line per activity type per LGA
Ward/Camp level data is even better
Household size (8 is the consensus)
Are you targeting households or individuals?
If targeting households, individuals will be extrapolated
SADD! (Sex & Age Disaggregated Data)
Actually a reporting requirement!, but…
If you have it, please provide it.
Cumulative for 2016
Not a monthly reporting!
Any activity that takes place in 2016
Partners are owners of their data, and are responsible for accurate and updated information being submitted to the FSS

16. Key population columns
The population data and informations about the population targeted is the most critical part of the matrix:
Column
Information
Comments
Average HH size
The average size of a household in the area targeted
The consensus is currently 8
IPC/CH Level
The food insecurity phase of the targeted population
No. of households
No of households targeted
Same in both targeted and reached
Disaggregated demographic data
Target population in demographic segments.
Provide it if you have it. Otherwise see notes on total
TOTAL
The total number of people reached or targeted
This field will auto calculate if disaggregated data is provided, otherwise TOTAL represents one of two values:
An actual count of indivduals.
A factor of avg. household size and households.
There must be a correlation between avg. HH size and total
