This guide, developed in collaboration with The Assessment Capacities Project (ACAPS), is aimed at staff working in humanitarian response.

It provides guidance on steps humanitarian responders can take to assess and determine how to enhance communication with and among communities at different stages of an emergency. Five key questions are suggested, including explanations of why these questions should be asked, and how agencies could act on this data to improve communication in humanitarian response.
