Monitoring needs assessments: Central African Republic

This report presents the results of an exercise to collect and analyse the
humanitarian needs assessment reports conducted in the Central African
Republic (CAR) since December 2013. It aims to reinforce humanitarian
actors’ understanding of the CAR crisis by:
? analysing the humanitarian needs assessments landscape;
? identifying the limitations of these assessments; and
? presenting courses of action to reinforce practices and minimise
constraints.
This monitoring needs assessments (MNA) exercise does not cover all the
information available and required for an analysis of the crisis. It focuses
on the assessment of humanitarian needs over a set period: 1 December
2013 to end June 2014. It therefore does not include assessments made
prior to this period, nor works on the CAR and the crisis in the country such
as thematic or analytic reports. The present report and its
recommendations must furthermore be read in the light of Annex 1,
Methodological Limitations.
