Practical Guide to Multilateral Needs Assessments in Post-Conflict Situations

The Practical Guide is the product of a partnership between the United Nations Development Group, the Bureau of Crisis Prevention and Recovery of the United Nations Development Programme, and the Conflict Prevention and Reconstruction Unit of the World Bank, with support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. The German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) was commissioned to prepare the guide based on a review and analysis of recent past experiences, as well as research on other assessment methodologies that could be useful. The aim is to provide a concise and practical guide for the use of country teams that will be involved in multilateral post-conflict needs assessments. The present document constitutes the guide, which is supplemented by a number of additional documents which provide additional details and information, and which are available online from UNDG and CPR, and on request from GTZ.
