Review Quotes

"Humanitarian Needs Assessments -The Good Enough Guide is a very welcome addition to the needs assessment support literature that is available, and gives humanitarian practitioners a step-by-step tool with clear and practical recommendations to help them carry out assessments in the field."--Claus Sørensen, Director-General, Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection

"When crisis, strife and misery is at its worst we need to know what is needed to start saving lives and help people help themselves. Based on the advice of so many who have lived through these worst of circumstances we now have this guideline for those who need it the most: field-based staff and national responders. They are the first to respond in their own communities and this guideline will enable them to provide the critical information needed to inform the wider humanitarian community."--Jan Egeland, Secretary General
