Checklist and key considerations |
Maximize uptake and integration |
| Collect data – how? |
If the PCA is being outsourced, ensure oversight to uphold UNICEF principles and commitments;
If CO/WASH team-led consider how you will ‘capture’ and store the data efficiently, effectively and securely:
- How will your data be gathered (paper-based, electronically, audio files, photo/video files)?
- How much data will you gather (number of KIIs/FGDs) and how will files be organized and categorized?
- How will you ensure security and integrity of the data?
- How much digital (or physical) storage is needed and available to your project?
|
- Define the end users and as far as possible engage them across the planning, design and implementation cycle, creating demand and promoting ownership along the way
- Engage key strategic external counterparts as relevant (Government, United Nations Agencies, Cluster and coordination mechanisms)
- Engage strategic in-country donors (KfW, SdC, EU…) to identify and advocate for resources to be allocated to translate findings into conflict-sensitive/peacebuilding WASH programming
|
Analyse and validate data
– how? |
If the PCA is being outsourced, facilitate the engagement of ‘end users’ of the findings to ensure relevance;
If CO/WASH team-led create an action plan for:
- Sorting, synthesizing and analysing your data and cluster your findings using the core elements of UNICEF Conflict Analysis as your analytical framework
- Use spreadsheets or research software (e.g. NVIVO) to create categories and ‘tag’ your data looking for relevant themes and trends
- Organize your data and findings around relevant disaggregation(geographic, by identity or group, by gender, age, socioeconomic status, access to WASH, etc.)
- Capture data that appear to not fit the trends (often voices not being heard, marginal perspectives) and other striking findings related to WASH-conflict interactions
|
- Include a final step in the analysis to identify relevant programmatic entry points and build ToC and result framework inputs engaging key prospective users of the findings – staff, IPs, contractors
- Include in the participatory analysis process a strategic internal CO dialogue with management to develop a CO/section response based on the findings - will it inform a ‘Do No Harm’ approach only, or will it be used to inform a broader peacebuilding strategy for the CO and the WASH sector?
- Ensure substantive internal validation among team, section, CO, FOs, and external validation with participants, strategic stakeholders, including IPs
|
Compile and write final
conflict analysis report and
other outputs – how? |
If the PCA is being outsourced, facilitate the provision of timely feedback by relevant stakeholders and that validation includes participants as relevant;
If CO/WASH team-led keep the purpose of the PCA and end users in mind to: How will your data be gathered (paper-based, electronically, audio files, photo/video files)?
- Organize and present your findings using the core elements of UNICEF Conflict Analysis as your report structure if helpful
- If specific programmatic entry points have already been identified, integrate them into the structure of the report to inform and support their leveraging
- Ensure broad CO/FO/WASH section participation and of relevant external counterparts
- Consider if a summary ‘light touch’ version is necessary for and/or an external facing version of the report
- Consider translation into local languages, as well as inclusive formats that consider disabilities and specific needs of end users
|
- Ensure any final report and supporting deliverables (training materials, presentations) include specific actions to integrate findings to inform conflict sensitivity as well as opportunities to build peace through WASH;
- Ensure the findings are translated into practical inputs - including specific tools to monitor and measure the effective operationalization of findings to integrate conflict sensitivity as a minimum requirement (e.g. targeting criteria and messaging; conflict sensitivity process indicators, periodic conflict sensitivity audits)
