in OperationsStep 8: Comprehensiveanalysis of the findingsand prioritization345678This step requires organizing and analysing theinformation gathered for each subgroup as noted on thesystematization form, near the end of the participatoryassessment exercise. While Step 6 consists of recording theinformation largely from the refugees’ point of view, theanalysis undertaken in Step 8 is carried out by the entiremultifunctional team from a holistic perspective and issupported by triangulation methods, which involve comparingthe data from different groups and diverse sources.Team members will analyse the information provided in thedifferent systematization forms and prioritize the most urgentprotection risks raised and solutions proposed in order toproduce an overall synthesis report by age and sex onpriorities emanating from the participatory assessment(Prioritization Report, see Annex 5).
