Abyan Assessment Report 8-9 July 2012

5.2: Data entry phase:

The data entry team faced many obstacles:

• 
  Repeating data entry for some forms due to problems with the internet connection
  
• 
  The website response faced delay and sometimes data lost due to slow internet speed.
  
• 
  Some comments on the platform :
  

• 
  In section 2 in Module 2& 3 … the most affected groups do not give you more selection choices than one only for each priority.
  

• 
  The ranking of questions in Module 3 is not correct (starting from G15).
  

• 
  G15 in Module 3 (COHABITING) is not mentioned in Module 2.
  

Lesson learned:

• 
  All of these technical issues should be reviewed and solved by the assessment technical provider, to avoid any issues at the data entry phase.
  
• 
  If possible and internet is available in the areas to be assessed, IF need to be on smart phones or iPads or other smart instruments.

   Description Module
   

The description module needs to be filled in by all team members - collectively - before the assessment starts. It provides a description of the site and community assessed. This information is essential to compare the humanitarian situation across different affected areas or communities and establish humanitarian priorities.

CAUTION: In some instances, assessment teams will visit sites where different communities coexist. A village may for example be composed of both host and displaced communities. Whenever feasible, communities of interest should be assessed independently (using different investigation forms). Standard definitions are provided in Annex I.
