1 Lisa Rudnick & Derek B. Miller, UNIDIR Summary Report on the Ghana Field Test of Security Needs Assessment Protocol (SNAP) (rev. ed.) 1 (2010)

handle is hein.unl/unaaee0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Ghana Field Test of Security Needs Assessment Protocol July 2007 (revised October 2010) UNIDIR Summary Report on the Ghana Field Test of Security Needs Assessment Protocol (SNAP) 17 May-4 June 2007' by Lisa Rudnick and Derek B. Miller Note This document is an overview of research activities and preliminary findings of the SNAP Field Test conducted in Ghana in May and June 2007. The purpose of the mission was to test various Protocol approaches and methods to team structures, data generation techniques, interpretation techniques, and other key concerns for generating local knowledge relevant to programme design. The document includes notes on the potential application of SNAP-generated findings for programme design for operational agencies. This document was written July 2007 and should therefore be read as a representation of SNAP development at that time. Minor revisions were made in October 2010 to add footnotes of more current (i.e. post-2007) references. These added references may be helpful in directing readers to more recent material pertaining to related topics. The document remains substantively unchanged since 2007, and therefore accurately reflects thinking at that time. Introduction From 17 May to 4 June 2007, the SNAP team traveled to Ghana to conduct a preliminary test of data generation techniques, ideas for field-team structures, and to learn about a variety of logistical aspects of security needs assessments. The field test was undertaken in support of SNAP activities B and C (State of the Art and New Approaches), and in preparation for activity D (Draft Protocol). (See Team Workplan for details.) This report presents a basic summary of 1) the research activities undertaken with the Field-Test; 2) the preliminary local findings the activities generated; and 3) how such findings can be applied to programme design solutions for implementing agencies operating in distinct cultural contexts. 1 This text is presented as received from the authors.
