Assessment and analysis The Sphere Minimum Standards provide a basis for needs assessment and analysis in each sector, with assessment checklists available in each chapter. At the onset of a crisis, Sphere standards help to identify immediate needs and prioritise activities that will address these needs. Planning figures and minimum assistance levels are outlined globally to help formulate minimum response-wide outcomes. The standards therefore also serve to improve coordination across organisations and sectors.
Strategy development and programme design The Core Humanitarian Standard and the Minimum Standards support the planning of responses to provide the right humanitarian assistance at the right time to those most in need. The full participation of the affected population and coordination with national and local authorities is essential to achieve this across all sectors. The key actions and indicators provide a framework to identify priorities, determine planning figures and coordinate across sectors. This helps to ensure that sectoral responses reinforce each other and support the population’s own capacity to meet their needs. The key actions and indicators outline the quality of assistance that should be attained. They also provide a basis for conducting a response analysis that identifies the best way to meet identified needs and minimise potential harmful side-effects. Programme planning usually involves analysis of several response options, such as in-kind provision of goods, cash-based assistance, direct service provision, technical assistance or a mix of these. The specific combination of response options chosen usually evolves over time. The Minimum Standards focus on what must be done, rather than how the assistance should be delivered. Cash-based assistance, a form of market-based programming, is increasingly used to meet humanitarian needs. Considerations for using cash-based assistance have been integrated throughout the Handbook, in all chapters. Cash-based assistance can be used to meet multi-sector needs as well as sector-specific needs. It can also be used to address discriminatory practices that restrict women’s access to assets and their decision-making around the management of assets. Multi-purpose grants can be an effective way to provide assistance and meet standards across sectors. All cash-based assistance should be informed by a multi-sectoral analysis of needs, dynamics in the context, market functionality and a feasibility assessment. Not all sectors are well adapted to market-based programming. This is the case particularly for providers of direct services or technical assistance. Health and nutrition providers may choose to support access to existing health service providers and local public health interventions that do not operate as markets. To determine the way in which assistance can best be delivered, consultations with the population, analysis of the markets, knowledge of the ways services are provided, and an understanding of the supply chain and logistics capacities will be needed. This response analysis should be reviewed over time as the situation changes ⊕ see Appendix: Delivering assistance through markets. Implementation If the Sphere standards cannot be met for all or some groups from the affected population, investigate why and explain the gaps, as well as what needs to change. Assess the negative implications, including protection and public health risks. Document these issues and work actively with other sectors and the affected population to identify appropriate ways to minimise potential harm. Monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning Monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL) supports timely and evidence-based management decisions. It allows humanitarian programmes to adjust to changing contexts. All of the Minimum Standards have indicators that can be monitored to determine whether they are being achieved, whether they are being achieved equitably for all segments of a population, or how much more needs to be done. Evaluation supports learning to improve policy and future practice, and promotes accountability. MEAL systems also contribute to broader learning efforts related to effective humanitarian action.
