A strategic planning- and decision-making tool for
recovery and development programming and coordination
TRMA’s unique mixed-method approach, combined with user-driven tools, places the project at the cutting edge of crisis mapping. Base-line data is collected in collaboration with state, UN and NGO actors. Concurrently, the use of participatory mapping workshops at local level allows communities to identify the most pressing crisis and risk factors in a given area. In this way, rich local knowledge is geo-referenced and detailed by the TRMA team. Building upon grass-roots knowledge, follow-up consultations with all relevant stakeholders and the development of consolidated situation analysis, allows partners to identify and prioritise conflict-sensitive recovery and development activities. Furthermore the inclusive nature of the TRMA process facilitates effective coordination between multiple stakeholders. A core objective of the project is to support each actor in their own process of data collection and validation, as well as in analysis and the definition of an appropriate prioritized response to a complex operating environment. Subsequent analysis and programming support processes, embeds capacity in partners by providing the method and tools needed for further data collection. Further, a regularly updated mapping database and analysis process would effectively support improved monitoring and evaluation of impact of selected interventions as an integrated part of their own process design.
In this way, TRMA supports a coherent programme process for the UN and partners, closely linking these to enhanced government planning priorities at national, state and local community levels. This pioneering crisis and recovery mapping and analysis tool provides a joint evidence base for targeted conflict prevention, introducing conflict-sensitive practice into recovery and development planning.
TRMA is now operational in all the states of Eastern Sudan, the Transitional Areas and Darfur. Formal project approval and roll-out for all states of Southern Sudan is expected in July 2009.
