Module 2: Development Assesment Flashcards
What is the importance of Development Assessments?
discovering what assets are available to use and what liabilities need to be addressed
What is Community Risk Assessment (CRA)?
assessing a community’s vulnerability to hazards and prescribing safety measures
[Data collection] ASSET-BASED APPROACH
collecting data by focusing on what already works and re-enforcing and re-applying those solutions
[Data collection] PROBLEM-BASED APPROACH
collecting data by analyzing what’s wrong and correcting the problem
[Data collection] other ways?
Conducting Focus Groups
Conducting Interviews
Conducting Surveys
Geographic Information Systems: Tools for Community Mapping
Using Public Records and Archival Data
Implementing Photovoice in Your Community
Windshield and Walking Surveys
[Types of data sources] what is primary data and secondary data?
primary data is data that comes directly from the source. secondary data is data that comes from published or unpublished sources.
[Triangulation] what is it?
Using multiple sources to collect data to ensure the validity
[Triangulation] According to Jonathan Bradshaw, what are the 4 needs that development assessments should explore?
- Felt needs - needs community wants
- Expressed needs - needs inferred through observing community’s actions and behaviors
- Normative needs - needs that compare the current situation to a professionals standards
- Comparative needs - needs that come about when you compare the situation of the current community to other communities
[Online research] types?
- Internet Mediated Research (IMR) - remote acquisition of data about human participants through internet
- Desk Based Research (DMR) - re-analyzing studies found online and offline
- Social Media Research (SMR) - extraction and analysis of data from social media
[Data analysis] What is it?
Inspecting raw data to discover useful information that will inform conclusions and support decision making for crafting the development intervention.
[Data analysis] Types?
- Current State Analysis - starting point that asks “where are we now?”
- Future State Analysis - next step that asks “where do we want to be?”
[Development Intervention] What are the 2 considerations needed?
- Community Considerations - needs, external programs, appropriateness, institutional capacity
- Organizational Considerations - resource availability, financial feasibility, technical feasibility, internal program considerations
[Stakeholder Analysis] What is it?
Tool used to identify people related to the development intervention.
- Identify stakeholders
- Determine how affected they’ll be by the intervention
- Create strategies to involve them
[Stakeholder Analysis] Types?
- Interested - Groups responsible for supporting the development intervention after it has been completed.
- Invested - Funding agencies or donors who might support your work.
- Influencing - The people who have the ability to change the direction of the development intervention.
- Involved - The individuals who actively participate in the work of the development intervention.
- Impacted - The people who will directly benefit by the development intervention.
[Stakeholder Analysis] How to determine level at which stakeholders will be engaged?
Balancing influence and interest.
high stake, high influence - top priority
high stake, low influence - handle with care
low stake, low influence - low priority
low stake, high influence - need help to participate
[Stakeholder Engagement] Classifications?
- Unaware - make them understand why intervention is important so they’ll want to participate
- Resistant - they are not in favor of development intervention. at least try to get them to be neutral
- Supportive - get support from them
- Leading - proactively working to make development intervention a success
- Neutral - dont take any action
[Gender analysis] What is it?
tool that analyzes how gender relationship in community will affect development intervention.
[Gender analysis] Steps in conducting?
1 Explore gender context: gender roles and relationships are identified
[SWOT analysis] What is it?
Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
Tool used to see how internal and external factors affect community.
[Problem tree analysis] What is it?
List down roots, core problem, consequences, and direct effects.
[Objective tree analysis] What is it?
List down what happens if the core problem is solved: core solution, activity, direct means, and outcome.
