It doesn’t matter how many resources you have
If you don’t know how to use them,it will never be enough.
Information is a basic need in humanitarian response

MIRA ScopeExtent and scale Priorities and needs
• Remote Sensing i.e. analysis of satellite imageries
• Land scan 2010 for population density
• Verification against government data and local authorities
• Post disaster district check list
• Community level assessment• Sample based survey
• Statistically representative to districts
• Distribution is proportionate to affected population for Tehsils/Talukas

Sampling
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
The sample size is calculated to give results within certain reliability limits (5% margin of errors and 95% confidence level). In MIRA 2012, 5% margin of error and 90% confidence level.
The sample is then distributed among the Tehsil/Talukas using PPS (Proportionate to Population Size) sample allocation method.
Sample villages Selection using “Simple Random Selection Method”.

Where:• SS = Sample Size• Z = Z value (e.g. 1.96 for 95% confidence level)• p = percentage picking a choice, expressed as decimal
(0.5 used for sample size needed)• C = confidence interval, expressed as decimal (e.g., .05 = ±5)• pop= population

Due to accessibility issues all the sampled sites could not be assessed, however, this will not effect the results significantly.
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
MIRA Key Informant
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
MIRA Key Informant selection1 Male and 1 Female per Site
• Careful identification of Key Informants– The choice of Key Informants affects the result of the survey
• Selection criteria for Key Informants– Knowledgeable of a wide range of issues: Population profile
and figures, security/access, sector information– Example of roles: Community leader, leader of women’s
group, religious leader, teacher, Lady health worker/Dai– Female key informants should not conveniently be female
members of the male key informants rather identify a strong female key informant while selecting male key informant
• Key Informant is representing the community including disadvantage groups – Minorities, extremely poor, displaced, etc.
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
MIRA Key Informant Interviews
• The assessment relies on the Key Informant to provide an overview of priorities and needs in community
• One Male and One Female Key informant interview will be conducted from each sample community
• A Key Informant can consist of more than one person– Responses recorded as consensus of people represented
• The Key Informant should be objective and impartial, representing the needs of ALL population
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Interview Techniques
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Interview Do’s Pay attention in the choice of the key informant,
balancing time available good choice of respondent, gender and diversity considerations
Establish contact first by introducing yourself, team and organization (wear official the tags, if available)
Describe the objectives of the interview/assessment, the expected length, the collection method (e.g. PDA)
Request informed consent for conducting interview
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Interview Do’s Hold the interview in a place that put the respondent(s)
at ease Respect the local customs, behaviors and beliefs. Show empathy and friendly behavior, establish rapport
and inspire confidence and trust Speak clearly and repeat the question if necessary Avoid using humanitarian acronyms', always spell the
names or the concept (including MIRA) Listen carefully, record data properly Do not presume, do not assume the meaning of an
answer, ask politely to repeat
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Interview Do’s
Pace yourself according to the time allotted for the interview
Note down your own observations about the process and content of the interview if you feel necessary
Go through all questions, check before the end If key protection risks are expressed, refer them
confidentially to Protection colleagues for appropriate and confidential follow up.
Thank the participant for making his or her time available
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Interview Don'ts
Don’t use judgmental tones that may influence responses
Don’t show non-serious attitude, maintain a professional tone
Don’t read immediately all the possible answers of the multi-response questions, let the respondent talk and note
Don’t try to influence the responses in any way Avoid arguing with the respondent Let the respondent articulate his/her response
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Interview don'ts Don’t get stuck on a question Do not argue with a team member about a question
or questioning method If the KI is uncomfortable with the questions, do not
insist they answer Don’t create expectations about future humanitarian
support and promises you cannot keep Don’t prevent respondents from asking you
questions at the end of the interview

ToT – Key Points
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Know your audience (knowledge level and working context)
Know your subject (MIRA process, methodology, tools)
Prepare (presentation delivery and Q&A) Engage participants (interactive training,
ask questions, group work etc) Follow up (respond to questions and get
training feedback etc)
ToT MIRA
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Key elements of MIRA knowledge
Questionnaire and observation sheet (clear understanding of questions in forms)
KI interviewing (identify KI (purposive selection of male and female), setting up the interview, interviewing to represent the question accurately)
Using the PDA (technical set up and use) PAWG coordination (field assessments, who is doing
the assessment where and when? Assessment monitoring and support)
Data management and analysis process (data nationally centralized, ATT basic analysis to feed partners and for final report)
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Use of Satellite Imagery
ASSESSMENT
WORKING GROUP
Land Scan Population distribution model, database, and tool
developed from census using a uniform regular grid (roughly 1 by 1 km)
Representing estimated population as projected of 2012 with the population growth
Flood Extent Satellite Imagery of inundated area Produced from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer) satellite image. Population Calculation
By overlaying flood extents on land scan, population under the flood extent was considered as affected population.

Data Collection – MIRA 2012
Data from the field was collected through Android based smart phones/tablets.
Open Data Kit (ODK) http://opendatakit.org is a free and open-source set of tools which provide mobile data collection solutions.
ODK used for:Build the data collection form for mobile devicesCollect the data on a mobile devices and send it to a
server; andAggregate the collected data on the server and extract it in
useful formats e.g. Excel

WORKING GROUP
Assessment Simulation Exercise• 2-3 participants – Uncoordinated Assessment
– Will conduct individual assessments
• A group of 2-3 participants – Coordinated Assessment– Will conduct the assessment together
• 2-3 participants – Observers– Will observe the above-groups whether they are following interview
techniques or not while collecting the assessment data
• Remaining participants– Will act as key informant of their affected villages
Information Required (in 30 minutes):• What is the total affected population• How many people have been displaced (total IDPs)• How many houses have been damaged with the breakdown of partially and fully
damaged houses
