How to assess the impacts of agricultural development projects is an evaluator's dilemma. Anthropologists who carry out such analyses often find that their field time is too short for careful, systematic coverage. Some object to the resulting studies, which they term "quick and dirty," and opt out of applied work. This reaction, however, does not discharge the obligation to reliably inform donors whether, where, and to what extent project activities have benefited local participants. Happily, there are scientifically responsible ways in which the challenge can be met and by which one can continue to do practical anthropology. This report on evaluation of an agricultural development project in Zaire provides one brief example in the hope that it will stimulate others to share their knowledge of rapid assessment methods and, in the process, increase the visibility and value of practical anthropology in public and private donor agencies.

Rapid Assessment Methods

Introduction: People with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by disasters, including health emergencies, and responses are not always inclusive or accessible. Disability-inclusive response and recovery efforts require rapid, contextually relevant data, but little was known about either the experience of people with disabilities in the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, or how rapid needs assessments were conducted. Methods: We reviewed the available results from rapid assessments of impacts of COVID-19 on people with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries in Asia and the Pacific. Rapid assessment methods and questions were examined to describe the current approaches and synthesise results. Results: Seventeen surveys met the inclusion criteria. The findings suggest that people with disabilities experienced less access to health, education, and social services and increased violence. The most rapid assessments were conducted by or with disabled person’s organisations (DPOs). The rapid assessment methods were varied, resulting in heterogeneous data between contexts. Efforts to standardise data collection in disability surveys are not reflected in practice. Conclusions: Persons with disabilities were disproportionately impacted by the ‘first wave’ of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite complex implementation challenges and methodological limitations, persons with disabilities have led efforts to provide evidence to inform disability-inclusive pandemic responses.
