Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) Database
and Learning from Evaluative
Reports Database
An initiative the Emergency Capacity Building Project (ECB2) funded by the
Microsoft Foundation
• Many evaluation report/project document repositories, but cumbersome to read full reports to extract relevant lessons-learnt
• Summarizes and synthesizes lessons learnt in a searchable format.
• Allows agency-specific tracking of whether lessons are being learned and a user-friendly monitoring platform.
• Support IWG joint activities.
Why yet another shared evaluative reports database?
Lessons Learned: Example…
25. Beneficiary Participation: “Oxfam developed proposals in Guatemala City. The team that conducted the damage assessment was also involved in proposal development. Oxfam’s proposals used information provided by their counterparts and the needs assessment by their team. Consultations were also made with affected people to learn about their preferences and customs. The designation of specific personnel to develop proposals was important and led to good results. This form of proposal development should continue, as should consulting beneficiaries regarding their preferences and needs.” (CARE/CRS/Oxfam 2005 Guatemala Joint Evaluation of Response to Tropical Storm Stan)

How does a “Lesson” Qualify for Inclusion?
• Suggest concrete solutions to a problem in different contexts
• Should have an “Aha-factor”
• Must be action-oriented
