SOMALIA Workshop aims
1. To gather the Dolow district Food Security partners to review the 2014 post-Deyr situational assessment and forecast, and;
2. To gather the Dolow district Food Security partners to discuss and develop concrete recommendations regarding coordination mechanisms on data collection and analysis for the 2015 post-Gu assessment.
SOMALIA Review of post-Deyr Assessment
Participants reviewed ways in which to improve preparation, data collection, analysis, reporting, and data sharing. Primary take-away points included:
• Communication
• Improved qualitative data and geographic scope
• Incorporate IPC and data collection trainings to harmonize data collection for post-Gu.
• LNGO gap between data collection and analysis
• Translation of the final report (or at least executive summary)
