The Good Enough Guide

This tool can help you check whether you are providing people affected by the emergency with basic information about your agency and the project. By asking people what information they have received, you can check how they see you and whether you are providing the information they need at the right time in the right way.

This tool can be used at different stages during the project: at the start to help you explain who you are and what your agency can do (see also Tool 1); after significant changes, for example, if the level of food ration is cut; and at the end of a project as part of your exit strategy.
