  • PREFACE Humanitarian response has become core mandate for many international non – government organizations (INGO) working in the developing countries, particularly in countries considered prone to disaster like Indonesia. In the past, INGOs in Indonesia would respond to disaster using their own strategy, tools and approach, independently from each other; and coordination and information sharing during the response period was very rare. As a result, it was not unusual for INGOs and even the government to use different information as the basis for response. It was also common to find overlapping of responses and assistance in one place, while other affected areas were under-served. Not to mention the poor quality of the response as it was designed not based on reliable or appropriate data. The Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) project , which started in 2005 with the pilot phase and then continued in 2008 until now, was designed to improve the capacity of the ECB member organizations’ speed, quality and accountability in emergency response. Being operational in a disaster – prone country and having lots of experience in responding to various types and scales of disasters in Indonesia, ECB Indonesia consortium has identified early on the need and importance of having accurate and reliable data in order to design high quality and accountable emergency response interventions. After a lengthy, dynamic, complicated (and sometimes painful) process at both ECB Indonesia and global levels, ECB Indonesia consortium has finally completed the development of a Joint Needs Assessment tools (JNA), along with the guideline and methodology, that can be used by humanitarian actors to conduct emergency needs assessment and collect data and information on the scale and impact of the disaster. Use of single, uniform tools will help the emergency responders in obtaining compatible and reliable data and information that can be shared among the humanitarian actors and government agencies for making

    decision on the response strategies and/or interventions. The Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) tool is one of the ECB Project’s tangible outputs that hopefully will contribute to the improvement of quality of the humanitarian responses in Indonesia and in other countries. As the lead agency for ECB Indonesia consortium, CRS would like to thank all ECB Indonesia member organizations and their focal points for all of their hard works, contribution and support to the development and finalization of the JNA. Our sincere gratitude also goes to ACAPS for their continuous technical support and guidance from the beginning of the JNA conception through the completion of the tool and guidance. The success of JNA development and introduction to wider humanitarian communities in Indonesia would not have been possible without the support of UNOCHA Indonesia who in many instances had advocated, to government agencies and other international and national humanitarian organizations in Indonesia, for the use of JNA in emergency response. Thank you, Catholic Relief Services (CRS)

  • INTORDUCTION This manual, ECB Joint Needs Assessment (JNA), was produced as part of the Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) Project as a guidance on carrying out a joint (multi-agency, multi-sector) needs assessment (JNA) in the Indonesia context. The ECB Project itself is a global humanitarian initiative led by six international agencies working through five ECB consortia. Since 2005, the project has sought to improve the speed, quality and effectiveness of emergency preparedness and response in the humanitarian community by building capacity at the field, organizational and humanitarian sector levels. The key principles of collaboration, partnership and non-duplication frame the way that participating agencies work together. ECB – Consortium Indonesia has developed a rapid Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) methodology and tool in consultation with the Government of Indonesia and the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) Country Team. This methodology includes pre-agreements between actors to deploy a common approach, a standard data collection template, and a database for the management and analysis of data. This manual aims to provide information on the methodology and on the use of JNA tool (questionnaires, direct observation form). ECB Project hopes this manual will assist humanitarian community and Government of Indonesia on conducting a rapid needs assessment to be able to provide humanitarian responses which will be timely, efficiently, effectively and at appropriate scale and scope.

    PENDAHULUAN Buku petunjuk ini, Kajian Cepat Terpadu atas Kebutuhan (Joint Needs Assessment) dari ECB, dibuat sebagai bagian dari Emergency Capacity Building Project (Proyek Pembangunan Kapasitas untuk Situasi Darurat) sebagai panduan dalam melaksanakan kajian terpadu (multi-lembaga, multi-sektor) atas kebutuhan dalam konteks Indonesia. ECB Project sendiri merupakan sebuah inisiatif kemanusiaan global yang dilakukan bersama oleh enam lembaga internasional yang bekerja melalui lima konsorsium ECB. Sejak tahun 2005, proyek ini telah berupaya untuk meningkatkan kecepatan, kualitas dan efektivitas kesiapsiagaan dan tanggap darurat di komunitas kemanusiaan dengan membangun kapasitas di tingkat lapangan, di tingkat organisasi dan di tingkat sektor kemanusiaan. Prinsip-prinsip kunci untuk kerjasama, kemitraan dan menghindari duplikasi menjadi dasar untuk mengembangkan metode untuk bekerja sama bagi lembaga-lembaga yang berpartisipasi. ECB Konsorsium Indonesia telah mengembangkan metodologi dan perangkat Kajian Cepat Terpadu atas Kebutuhan (Joint Needs Assessment atau biasa disingkat JNA) melalui konsultasi dengan Pemerintah Indonesia dan UN OCHA (the United Nation Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) Country Team. Metodologi ini meliputi kesepakatan awal antar para pelaku untuk menggunakan pendekatan yang sama, model pengumpulan data yang baku, dan database untuk manajemen data dan analisisnya. Panduan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi mengenai metodologi dan penggunaan perangkat JNA (kuesioner, form pengamatan langsung). ECB Project berharap panduan ini akan membantu komunitas kemanusiaan dan Pemerintah Indonesia dalam melakukan kajian cepat atas kebutuhan sehingga dapat memberikan respons kemanusiaan yang tepat waktu, efisien, efektif dan dengan skala dan ruang lingkup yang sesuai.dan ruang lingkup yang sesuai.

    JOINT NEEDS ASSESSMENT (JNA) METHODOLOGY AND GUIDELINES

    1. INTRODUCTION

    The Indonesia Emergency Capacity Building Project (ECB) consortium began working on the Joint

    Needs Assessment in 2007. This work preceded developments at the global level on coordinated

    assessments, including the work of the Needs Assessment Task Force (NATF) established in 2009.

    The approach presented in this document presents a practical guide to carrying out a joint (multi-

    agency, multi-sector) needs assessment (JNA) in the Indonesia context1. It is based on lessons learned

    from various applications of the JNA in Indonesia since 2007, lessons learned in other country

    contexts, and on global thinking on good assessment practice as set out in the IASC NATF Operational

    Guidance for Coordinated Assessments in Humanitarian Crises and the Multi-Cluster/Sector Initial

    Rapid Assessment (MIRA). ACAPS has worked closely with ECB2 in Indonesia on this approach since

    2011.

    The time frame of the JNA focuses on the initial days and weeks after a sudden onset disaster, referred

    to as known as phases 1 and 2 in the NATF documents, with the recognition that not all disasters are

    sudden in their onset and an appropriate trigger mechanism should be adapted for slow-onset events

    according to ECB’s Disaster Response Emergency Protocol (DREP). The assessment methodology

    consists of three key elements3:

    1) The use of secondary data, including pre and post disaster data and lessons learned.

    2) The use of primary data and a community level assessment.

    3) A process for joint4 analysis.

    The methodology outlined here aims to achieve an overall assessment of the impact of a disaster by

    utilizing qualitative and quantitative information available through secondary data sources including

    the Government of Indonesia (GoI) and Stakeholders as well as an understanding of the nature of the

    disaster’s impact and priorities of affected people through primary data collection.

    In the initial days and weeks after a disaster, the key decisions that need to be made, and the

    decisions that will be informed by a JNA, are strategic ones. The focus of the JNA is the

    assessment that will take place during the initial weeks of a disaster and which includes community

    level primary data collection. Where possible, it is recommended that ECB conduct a light assessment

    of affected areas to produce an initial understanding of the impact of a disaster if one has not been

    produced by other stakeholders (such as the GoI or OCHA). This should aim to be complete within the

    first 3 days after the disaster.

    For most disasters it is generally recommended a key joint information product (or report) be

    produced:

    A JNA report; either provides an initial understanding of the impact of the disaster in OR a more

    detailed overview of the impact of the disaster within the initial weeks which includes a

    component of primary data collection from the community level.

    1 Hereafter referred to as the JNA. 2 For information on ECB see www.ecbproject.org. For information on ACAPS, see www.acaps.org. 3 This is closely aligned to that recommended in the MIRA, but adapted to the country context. 4 Joint here means multi-sector and multi-stakeholder.

    The initial assessment aims to:

    Estimate scale and severity.

    Locate affected populations.

    Identify risks.

    So that it can:

    Inform initial response decisions.

    Inform phase 2 rapid assessments.

    It will do this through:

    Collation of secondary data (pre and post

    disaster information and lessons learned).

    Primary data collection of qualitative

    information at sites identified by

    Purposive sampling.

    Observations and information will be

    collected in a structured way from key

    informants.

    In the initial weeks the JNA aims to:

    Highlight priority geographic areas.

    Identify priority sectors.

    Identify how the lives of people have

    changed as a result of the disaster

    (impact).

    Establish the general situation across

    affected areas.

    So that it can:

    Inform initial planning of response, modify

    and revise initial decisions if appropriate.

    Define focus for in-depth assessments

    Contribute to a shared understanding by

    stakeholders informs decisions.

    It will do this through:

    Collation of secondary data (pre and post

    disaster information and lesson learned).

    Primary data collection formats used to

    gather systematized impressions of the

    impact, key informant interviews,

    community group discussions and direct

    observation by assessment teams

    (qualitative but more detailed than in

    initial days).

    Purposive sampling of sites

    Emphasis on comparisons (across regions,

    sectors, groups, and time)

    Phase 1 and 2 assessments will not give detailed, technical, representative, specialized information for programmatic planning.

    While the phase 1 information is being compiled, plans will already be underway for the phase 2 assessment (if required).

    While the phase 2 assessment is underway, clusters will plan for phase 3 in-depth assessments (if required).

    Information should be made available to decision makers as soon as possible (even before

    reports are released and finding finalized).

    1.1 Secondary Data

    Pre and post disaster secondary data is an integral aspect to understanding the impact of a disaster

    upon affected communities. Pre-disaster secondary data provides a multi sectoral baseline from

    which the impact of the disaster can be measured, and it can be used to help understand the likely

    impact of a disaster. Information such as baseline population figures, demographic breakdown, and

    other information about how people live in affected areas should be combined with post disaster

    secondary data about a disaster. Post disaster secondary data in the initial days of a disaster makes

    sense of the evolution of the disaster upon affected communities and locations. It comes from a range

    of sources including media reports, reports from local institutions and organizations in the affected

    areas, government, satellite imagery and weather reports. Improved management of pre-disaster

    information facilitates easier, faster use of post disaster data to develop an understanding of the

    impact of a disaster. Lessons learned from similar disasters and from previous disasters in the same

    area can also help flesh out a more detailed understanding of the likely needs of affected communities

    and the probable trends of the (impact of the) disaster’s evolution.

    As noted, the first assessment output from the JNA will be prepared largely using secondary

    information. The JNA report that will be produced on the initial weeks will have a larger proportion of

    primary data, but will still rely heavily on the analysis of secondary information.

    Estimates of the number of people affected by a disaster will be based on collated estimates of the

    proportion of people affected (usually given by local government authorities) combined with pre-

    disaster population data. The best estimates of the number of men, women, boys, girls, and groups

    with specific needs (i.e. older persons, persons with disabilities, pregnant and lactating women, and

    ethnic/religious minorities) affected by the disaster in the initial days and weeks will be made using

    the known demographic breakdown of the population and the approximate number of affected

    people.

    1.1.1 Secondary Data Information Sources

    Recommendations for types and sources of secondary information are provided below for each sector

    part of the KI/CG form. PMT members should regularly review these and add/modify sources

    according to the Indonesia context. This can be done both nationally for the country as a whole as

    well as by adding additional types and sources of secondary information that are regionally relevant.

    All data should be collected and considered with a gender lens.

    All questions in the KI/CG form are intended to enable a before/after comparison of the impact of a

    disaster. Secondary information can help assessment teams both identify the availability of

    community resources and services before a disaster as well as characterize certain aspects of

    communities before the disaster. These pre disaster characteristics will include, but not be limited to:

    vulnerability of specific groups, coping strategies, and resiliency.

    Secondary pre and post disaster information should also be used to triangulate other information

    sources. Analysis of pre and post disaster information, lessons learned, and primary data will then

    enable an identification of priority needs, priority groups, and their locations. Within each sector,

    consideration should also be given to measuring national and local capacity to respond.

    1.1.2 Pre disaster Information by Sector

    The below provides a sample of information needs and sources. PMT members will need to regularly

    2 THE USE OF PRIMARY DATA AND THE COMMUNITY LEVEL ASSESSMENT (CLA)

    Primary data refers to data collected specifically for the purpose of the current JNA. In phases 1 and 2,

    primary data will come from a few main sources: key informant interviews; community group

    discussions; and direct observations by field teams.

    In the initial days, the vast majority of information for JNA Report will come from secondary data.

    However additional primary data gathered through structured interviews with key informants (such

    as local government officials, NGO partners or project staff based in affected areas) will contribute to

    the qualitative picture of how people have been affected. NB interviews can be carried out over the

    phone if required.

    In the initial weeks, information on the nature of the impact including priorities and needs as

    articulated by the affected population will come from a community level assessment in selected sites

    and be added to compiled secondary data. Information from the community level assessment will

    come from community group discussions, key informant interviews and direct observation from

    assessment teams. Information will be collected in structured formats for ease of collation,

    comparison and analysis.

    A clearly articulated, well designed approach to collecting primary data in the field, with tools and

    methodology that is appropriate to the time frame of the disaster is an important element of the JNA.

    Sites where information is collected in order to develop a JNA reports will be selected through

    purposive sampling. In the initial days, information will be obtained from where it can be based on

    communications, known contacts, access, and time constraints.

    The level of primary data collection that is appropriate for the initial weeks of a disaster is the

    community level. This is because time constraints do not usually allow for levels of planning and

    resourcing required for statistically representative sampling or random sampling that would be

    required to adequately utilize household or individual level information.

    A purposively selected sample of sites that characterize a cross section of the different kinds of

    villages, sites and affected population groups will be used for the community level assessment. The

    number of sites selected will depend on access, available human resources, logistics, distance and time

  • 11

    travel as well as the heterogeneity/homogeneity of the population and the geographic area affected.

    The aim of the assessment is to assess sites of each “type” (based on variations in population and

    variations in location) until no new information about the impact of the disaster is found. In practical

    terms, this usually means agreeing on a set number of sites to aim for at the outset.

    The aim of the assessment is not to assess as many sites as possible; purposive sampling cannot

    provide statistical representation of affected populations. Rather, emphasis is placed on high quality

    assessment at a limited number of sites to understand the impact of the disaster on the population, to:

    Help determine the most urgent needs.

    Identify community priorities.

    Ground-truth information from secondary data sources.

    Give voice to affected communities.

    At each site visited, the assessment team will collect information based on: community group

    discussions5, key informant interviews and direct observations. Formats and guidelines have been

    developed to collect this information in a structured way, enabling collation and the identification of

    trends.

    The key features of team composition for the community level assessment are:

    Ensuring the needs of women can be assessed (e.g. ensure inclusion of trained female

    assessors).

    Teams should be multi-stakeholder in composition6.

    Team members should (as much as possible) have expertise in different clusters/sectors.

    Teams should include sufficient people to cover all of the assessment related tasks.

    The following table recommends size, composition and duties of assessment field teams.

    2 Female Key informant interview.

    5 It is suggested that there be separate male and female community group discussions at each site. 6 Where possible, field teams should be multi-stakeholder in composition and include members from different

    agencies. This helps ensure that teams are as unbiased as possible across all areas and contributes to the joint ownership of the whole JNA (not just a particular area or sector where an agency may be operationally focused). Past experience has also highlighted that mixed teams are well received by local authorities because it sends the message that stakeholders are working together.

    2 Males community group discussion.

    2 Male Key informant interview.

    Consolidation of male CG and Female KI.

    Whole team Reach consensus on DO and consolidated information by gender

    * The total number of those assessors will very much depend on agencies resource availability.

    Community level primary data collection forms are used to gather information in a systematized

    way. Tools have been developed using existing assessment Indonesia tools as well as tools

    recommended by the global body on needs assessments (the NATF) and global clusters.

    Each time a JNA is carried out; community level primary data collection forms should be revised and

    made ready for that specific JNA. All tools and forms should be translated into Bahasa Indonesian and

    field tested as part of JNA preparedness.

    Once community level primary data forms have been finalized for the JNA, a data entry platform

    needs to be established. To ensure timeliness of information, concerted effort should be made to

    ensure that data entry can take place parallel to data collection (ideally, agencies involved in data

    collection should be involved in data entry data)7.

    A consolidated database will be used to generate initial tables and graphs that can be used to visualize

    the data and be shared by and with participating agencies to support analysis. All JNA agencies

    participating in secondary and/or primary data collection are involved in joint analysis. Joint, or

    cross sector, analysis takes place in a meeting where key information from each sector is reviewed to

    determine and agree upon priorities and recommendations. It is based on the assessment framework

    outlined below.

    3 JOINT ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK

    The analysis framework outlines what the JNA is trying to find out. Key aspects that the joint

    assessment needs to address are the following8:

    1) About the disaster itself (including likely evolution).

    2) Magnitude/scope (geographic and number of affected people) and pre-existing. vulnerabilities

    (across sectors/clusters and by sector/cluster).

    3) Nature of the impact on affected population.

    4) Government capacity and response.

    5) Non-government capacity and response.

    6) Access and constraints: logistics, transport.

    7) Coverage and gaps.

    8) Priorities.

    7 This requires agencies being able to dedicate capacity to data entry (computers and personnel) in the field so

    that data that comes in is entered the same day or the following day by. Leaving the data entry until all of the sites have been assessed adds days, and inaccuracy, to the overall process.

    8 These are based closely on the headings defined in the IASC MIRA assessment framework.

  • 13

    Secondary and primary information collection will be designed around addressing these headings.

    They will also form the structure of the outputs of the assessment (the JNA reports).

    4 PREPAREDNESS

    Assessment preparedness involves key stakeholders agreeing on:

    Assessment content: the information needed to plan a response to a disaster.

    Assessment mechanism: roles and responsibilities for how the JNA is carried out.

    Key aspects of assessment preparedness include (please refer to ECB – DREP for detail guidance).

    Will participate in the assessment, including consideration of agency capacity and staff

    availability for different aspects of the JNA.

    Agreeing on standard operating procedures (SOPs).

    Agreeing on assessment formats that can be rabidly adapted based on the specific disaster

    context ready for use (including tested translation of tools and key definitions).

    Preparation of a field guide for assessment teams that covers key definitions and explanations

    of the assessment.

    Preparation of an “orientation module” for field teams.

    Training of trainers who will deliver the orientation module and be available as team leaders

    or as part of the CLA coordination team.

    Agreeing on templates for phase 1 and phase 2 reporting.

    Determining data entry, processing and information management arrangements (including

    GIS).

    Planning how joint analysis of information will be conducted (and agreeing who will be

    involved).

    Planning how information will be shared and with whom.

    Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) – Joint Needs Assessment Tool Key Informant / Community Group

    JNA QUESTIONNAIRE INSTRUCTIONS The following note assists in explaining the assessment tool for use with KI and CG for primary data collection. Ideally, the tool will be used separately for MALE and FEMALE community groups and for MALE and FEMALE key informants. Discussions should be led by two male (for male) and two female (for female) assessors so that one assessor can facilitate the discussion while the other records the responses. The multiple choice options that are given here should not be read out like a check-list, rather they pre-defined options to assist in the clear recording and analysis of information. They can also be used to help the assessment team discuss the questions. If answers to questions are given that are not pre-defined, write them clearly in the space marked other. Do not tick other without writing the answer. Questions have been developed so that all sections should be answerable by the community. Assessments teams must be sure not to leave any sections unanswered and avoid answering do not know whenever possible. When you introduce the assessment to the community, make it clear that no one is obliged to participate in the discussion. It is completely voluntary. Also make it clear that the purpose of the assessment is to help decision makers understand the impact of the disaster and the needs that they (the community) think are important. Let the community know that your colleagues are carrying out similar discussions in other sites. Be sure that they understand there is no promise of assistance linked to this assessment and that, due to the time frame; it is unlikely you will be able to come back and check the information with them or share the overall findings. Be very clear that no names will be recorded and the assessment is anonymous.

    1. IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION Note to assessment teams Questions 1.1-1.5 should be answered by the assessment team, NOT asked to the community. 1.1 Date of assessment: ____ / ____/ _______ (DD/MM/YYYY) Enter the date the assessment is carried on out by using: date/month/year. 1.1.1 Type of Disaster: Check the boxes which describe the type of disaster.
