WFP carries out or participate in emergency needs assessments (ENA) as a basis for its emergency operations (EMOPs) and protracted relief and recovery operations (PRROs). ENAs vary according to the nature of the emergency. In the early 2000’s, studies such as that by Darcy and Hofmann in 2003 showed the need for ENAs improvement across the humanitarian community. A WFP review of internal and external studies and evaluations of ENAs identified several weaknesses: mainly on methodologies and technical issues, human capacities and transparency.
On the basis of the problems identified, WFP developed a strategy to strengthen the ENAs in order to improve their quality, utility, transparency and credibility and, early 2004, presented to the Executive Board (EB), a policy paper titled ‘Emergency needs assessments’ (WFP/EB.1/2004/4-A). This led to a 30-months implementation plan (IP). Progress made to implement the plan is regularly reported upon to the EB (end 2004, 2005 and 2006).
