Participatory basic needs assessment with the internally displaced using well being ranking.

This paper reports on how wellbeing ranking was adapted to allow displaced people in Western Kenya to develop their own strategies for rehabilitation and also to identify appropriate interventions for agencies working with them. This method was found to be quick, making it possible to implement some projects within weeks of discussions and also led to an increased awareness among neighbours from different tribal origins of the common effects of the disturbances and their shared needs.
