INFORMATION GAPS & ASSESSMENT PLANNING

In 2016, more than 350 assessments were conducted by
77 humanitarian organizations across all 18 governorates of
Iraq, a substantial increase in comparison with the 120 assessments
conducted in 2015. The majority of the assessments took place in
the governorates most affected by displacement: Anbar, Dahuk,
Erbil, Kirkuk, Ninewa, and Salah al-Din. As the Mosul military
operations unfold and returns increase, inter-sectoral coordinated
assessments will be a key means of providing in-depth analysis to
inform cluster planning and response. Assessment and analysis
of livelihoods patterns and social tensions will be critical in
2017. In hard-to-reach areas, data is gathered remotely through
key informant networks established by humanitarian partners,
and is then verified once areas become accessible. Four inter-
sectoral assessments were conducted by 6 agencies in 2016.
