Priorities in the assessment phase

Note(s): Key takeaway: assessment priorities are concentrated around rapid situation analysis (31%) and identifying key stakeholders and partners (27%), emphasizing the urgency and coordination demands typical of humanitarian contexts. Determining project scope and scale (26%) also plays a central role, while evidence-gathering activities (14%) appear less emphasized. This pattern suggests that in early phases, project teams prioritize immediate understanding of needs and operational alignment over more detailed data collection
