Abstract
This document contains a detailed
description of the design, development, and operations of
the Crisis Monitoring and Response System (CMRS). It covers
the period from January 2009, when the CMRS was initiated,
until September 2010 when the final CMRS reports (including
this one) were completed. In addition to providing a
definitive record of CMRS design and operational decisions,
the document describes the results of the analyses based on
the data collected. The document is intended to be the
definitive source of reference material. It should prove
particularly useful if and when consideration is given to
the design, development and implementation of crisis
monitoring system in the future. The ultimate objective was
to ensure timely and appropriate policy responses in those
districts identified as adversely affected as result of the
global economic crisis (or any other shock). The output was
to be an operational CMRS, comprising a data collection
system and analyses that facilitated identification of
appropriate responses. Funding for the CMRS was provided by
Australian Government agency responsible for managing
Australia's overseas aid program (AusAID). The level of
funding determined the scale of the CMRS. The budget was
sufficient to support three rounds of a survey collecting
data via a relatively short questionnaire from about 15,000 households.
