Joint Intersectoral Analysis Framework (Jiaf)

the joint intersectoral analysis framework (jiaf) is a methodologically new approach to analyzing the multiple needs of populations in crisis. the jiaf reflects an important evolution in the humanitarian community’s ability to systematically and transparently identify the most vulnerable populations, where they are, the combination of needs they face, and their severity. where data is available, the jiaf offers the possibility to analyze this information by any diversity characteristic (gender, age, disability, displacement, etc). the jiaf was designed with the objective of providing a solid evidence-base to inform humanitarian responses, and where necessary facilitate the prioritization of financial resources to populations and localities where intersectoral needs are the most severe.
