Step 10: Communicating Results Before starting Step 10, the EMMA leader should have… o
completed the gap-analysis, market-analysis, and response-analysis strands; o
arrived at your conclusions in the form of a response-recommendations framework. Objectives of Step 10
Write up the findings and conclusions of EMMA’s investigation in a format that is useful and accessible to decision makers.
Make the findings and conclusions available rapidly to an appropriate audience of managers, donors, and collaborating agencies. Key Outputs in Step 10
Executive briefing: two-page document summarizing findings and recommendations
Presentation: 15–20 minute verbal / slide presentation
Comprehensive EMMA report Key Activities in Step 10
Identify key decision makers (NGOs, local government, your NGO and donors) and invite them to a briefing
Involve decision makers in process of decision making using the response recommendations frameworks
Develop short, succinct and coherent presentations and assessment summaries that can be disseminated
Apply assessment findings to overall response strategies, proposals etc.
Share assessment findings (even draft ones) as soon as you can with decision makers and coordination groups Additional Supporting Information: 1. Advice on using results to get action (EMMATKp187 Box 10.1) 2. Structure of an EMMA report (EMMATKp188 Sec10.3)
o
In countries where you have 2 spoken languages, ensure maximum impact of your assessment findings presentation by having 2 meetings, one in each language. o
can focus on discussing recommendations. o
Where NGO activity has been detrimental to market function, or where NGO coordination is critical to ensuring/ maintaining/ improving markets performance the presentation of results can be used to build consensus and agreement in programming.
o
Port au Prince, Haiti, 2010: EMMA recommendations can be used up by others. This was especially so for recommendations that were not within the remit or specialisation of the NGOs undertaking the EMMA. For example, EMMA findings for the labour market (construction) were used by numerous NGOs for labour market related activities and for an in-depth analysis of the labour market.

Monitoring: Keep the maps alive! EMMA data is valid for as long as the context/ situation in which it was gathered remains relatively stable. In some contexts, this can be for some months, in others, less so. Monitoring target populations and key parts of the
organisations with real time analysis they need to ensure their responses are still required and appropriate. It is important to establish a simple and straightforward monitoring system as soon as possible.
Start identifying potential indicators to track market functioning whilst completing the EMMA, it does not have to be done at the end.
Brainstorm and identify indicators that will: o
Enable the programme team to check whether or not the activities (on-going and planned) are appropriate. o
Ensure contextual analysis and monitoring of population needs that would allow you to update (a) the programme activities/ targeting/ timing etc… and (b) maps and analysis.
duplication, but ensure the monitoring system uses all indicators effectively.
Investigate the use of technology (mobile phones etc…) that could be used in the monitoring system and to enable more ‘grass-root’/ target population involvement in monitoring (see CDAC (Communicating with disaster affected communities) for additional information http://www.cdacnetwork.org )
Ensure indicator collection frequency and number of collection points is not too laborious but pertinent. Monitoring indicator collection timeframes should reflect the deterioration of the context and the evolving food and livelihood insecurity. Not all indicators will require the same timeframe. Some maybe monthly, others bi-monthly.
Utilise monitoring data and apply it to context analysis and programme decision making.
Interpret/ analyse the data and inform relevant programme and management staff of the analysis and its implications on the on-going programme and planned programmes.
Update the EMMA maps and analysis using the data collected.
Ensure management/ decision makers are aware of the monitoring system developed and that they are sent analysed and interpreted monitoring reports (i.e. the data is analysed and summarised with any programmatic recommendations included).
1. Establishing price monitoring: EMMACD-ROM (at the back of the EMMA Toolkit) Field based advice: o
Keep the monitoring system simple. Start small if need be, check and change the system as time goes on. o
If the context has changed dramatically and monitoring and updating of the maps are not viable options, then a new EMMA may be required. Use the lessons learned and experiences from the previous EMMA to inform the TORs for the future EMMA. If necessary, involve a market specialist if the market has become too complex or if longer term programming recommendations are required. Yüklə 2,92 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
