The image presents three grouped horizontal bar charts. In the Implementation Phase, Adapt and adjust strategies based on the situation shows 16, Provide immediate life-saving action plan shows 12, Ensure the safety and dignity of victims shows 11, Coordinate with other humanitarian responders shows 10, and Establish a distribution system alternative shows 9. In the Monitoring and Evaluation Phase, Identify changes and obstacles shows 19, Ensure transparency and accountability, Regular access to the progress of the project implementation, and Gather feedback from beneficiaries each show 13, and Other shows 1. In the Transition and Exit Phase, Ensure a smooth and responsible project, Monitor the sustainability of the project, and Develop a strategy for the transition phase. Each shows 12, and the built capacity of the local organization shows 10.Priorities in the implementation phase, monitoring and evaluation phase and transition and exit phase
Note(s): Key takeaway: across all three phases, respondents emphasized actions that ensure responsiveness, accountability and long-term stability. During implementation, the strongest priority is adapting strategies to rapidly changing conditions, reflecting the fluidity of humanitarian operations. In the monitoring and evaluation phase, identifying obstacles and maintaining transparency dominate, highlighting the sector’s need for rigorous oversight. Transition and exit activities focus heavily on sustainability, ensuring responsible handover, monitoring long-term outcomes and building local capacity. Taken together, these patterns suggest that humanitarian projects require both short-term adaptability and long-term continuity, supporting the relevance of hybrid approaches that balance iterative adjustment with structured planning
