Prioritize WASH needs through a WASH severity mapping
...
- INFORM software (http://www.inform-index.org/About-us)
- 1000Minds software: a simple and transparent method to identify vulnerable populations. Without the need to shape available data to fit pre-defined weights, the software undertakes a multi-criteria analysis on the data that is available at the time of the emergency. 1000minds software has been identified as a valuable tool to identify vulnerable populations in an easy, flexible and transparent way. In the Key Guidance and Tools section of above this page can be found the “WASH Prioritization Tool” 2016 GWC 1000Minds Prioritisation Tool, which contains a WASH-specific step-by-step manual to use 1000Minds to calculate the needs/priorities of the affected population, as well as example datasets and results from Somalia.
A severity map can finally be designed, and used to show severity of needs per geographic location. Regardless of the approach taken, the exercise should be documented to ensure full replicability of the process.
Refer to the 2015 IASC OCHA Humanitarian Needs comparison tools for Comparison Tool presentation and tool box for more details on integrated severity mapping.
