Context
In refugee situations, UNHCR supports the coordination of a multi-sectoral response based on a joint assessment of the needs of the affected people. The Needs Assessment in Refugee Emergencies (NARE) is a multi-sector rapid assessment approach, designed to assist UNHCR operations in jointly assessing with partners the main unmet needs and concerns of refugees, host communities, and other forcibly displaced persons to inform immediate response planning.
