Synopsis (short abstract) FAO strives to ensure that national and international technical standards, norms, policies and strategies are taken into account in all interventions, emergency or otherwise. The ‘Assessment and Programme Formulation Guidelines for Agriculture Emergencies (APF)’ is an attempt to highlight some of these standards and to ensure that damage and needs assessments and analysis are of the highest technical standard that guide and inform intervention options. These Guidelines draw on a number of tested best practices, guidelines and papers. No attempt has been made to develop additional methodologies and tools if they already exist. In addition, a series of templates have been prepared with sufficient instructions and hyperlinks to various tools, guidelines and best practice examples to assist individual experts and teams of experts in: (i) damage and needs assessments; (ii) formulation of appropriate response options; and (iii) building synergies across rehabilitation int erventions and long term strategies and policies (i.e. a smooth transition from emergency to long-term development objectives). This is a living document and as such, it has to be adapted to changing circumstances and draw on new guidelines and tools as and when made available. These Guidelines also draw on the FAO Project Formulation Toolkit, a web-based, dynamic set of guidelines and best practice examples on project/programme formulation.
