ACAPS and ECB collaborate on Joint Needs Assessment in Bangladesh
Published on 23 September 2011
Following the recent flooding experienced in the southern areas of the country, the ECB Bangladesh consortium has carried out and completed a multi-agency joint needs assessment (or JNA) in Satkhira, Jessore and Khulna districts, with ACAPS providing necessary technical support. Sixteen INGO’s and their partners participated in this assessment including WFP and The Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP). A first draft of the JNA report has been produced, and a consortium meeting was held on September 22nd in Dhaka, with evidence and findings from the report being presented to Country Directors, ECB Focal Points and senior managers. It is expected that a finalised version will be made available shortly to accompany the Secondary Data Review that was developed by the consortium in collaboration with ACAPS (available to view here). This is the first attempt by the ECB Project to carry out a JNA in Bangladesh, and discussions are currently being held between agencies, ECB AIM advisors and the ECB Field Facilitator regarding how best to capture the learning from this process.
