ASSETS Guidebook: Assessment of Emergency and Transition Situations

Mercy Corps, Health Alliance International

Published in : 2006

Available in : English

This manual is intended to provide a brief overview and introduction to ASSETS, a tool that has been designed by Mercy Corps to assist in conducting assessments. While originally developed for complex emergency situations, many of the manual’s components are relevant and applicable to non-emergency settings. This guide is divided into three sections: Section 1 is a basic introduction to ASSETS and the philosophy behind the tools, Section 2 gives an overview of the General Assessment Tool (GAT) and how to use it and Section 3 focuses in-depth assessment of different sectors. It does not specifically cover the nutrition sector but it does cover many of the IEC methods such as focus group discussion and key informant interviews described in this module.
