Whole of Syria Assessment Workshop
WoSA Workshop - AGENDA
Beirut
5-7 July 2015
Background
The Needs Identification Framework is a practical guide of how humanitarian actors working on the Syria crisis use their tools of collecting and
analyzing information to collectively agree on needs and priorities for the purpose of strategic planning of the Humanitarian Programme Cycle.
The overarching objective of the framework is to: Identify and learn from needs identification methodologies, data collection, processing and
analysis efforts taking place within the Whole of Syria (WoS) approach and develop timely interventions to improve decision-making and needbased response to populations affected within Syria by the current crisis to feed into the 2016 HNO.
As requested by the ISCCG on its May 2015 meeting, a Whole of Syria Assessment is put in place to complement existent information available
through sectoral and inter-sectoral processes and allow harmonized analysis for the Humanitarian Needs Overview and the Strategic Response
Plan later this year. (Annex1: WoSA Concept Draft)
To allow a technical elaboration of the planning, tools and processes for the WoSA, a workshop is taking place in Beirut on the 5,6 and 7 of July.
Objective
The objective of the workshop is to finalize all planning, tools and processes required for the training of the enumerators/facilitators and field
work of the WoSA.
