A World Vision context analysis tool that provides a macro-level analysis of a country or a specific geographic context of a country.
Used during or in anticipation of an imminent change or at the initial or urgent phase of a humanitarian response. It provides an analysis in a time-efficient and pragmatic way.
It is a flexible tool that can be used in unpredictable and conflict-prone contexts. The process usually takes about two weeks with a short preparation phase beforehand.
Produces a snapshot of the current situation through drawing together the views of a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders, including local communities and beneficiaries. Micro-level insights from local community members strengthen and inform the macro-level analysis.
Generates actionable and practical recommendations for INGOs involved in humanitarian responses. These recommendations are appropriate and relevant to the context.
Designed to be an inter-agency tool.
