Guidance for Evaluating Humanitarian Assistance in Complex Emergencies


This document aims to improve accountability and performance in the operation of the international humanitarian assistance system by providing guidance on how to evaluate humanitarian assistance.

Aimed primarily at those involved in the commissioning, design and management of evaluations of humanitarian assistance programmes principally within donor organisations, it is also likely to be of use to UN agencies, NGOs and other organisations involved in the provision of humanitarian assistance.

The report is based on a review of more than 70 humanitarian assistance evaluation reports and synthesis studies; questionnaires to key individuals involved in humanitarian aid evaluations; and interviews with 65 individuals in 30 humanitarian organisations in Paris, Rome, Geneva, New York, Washington and the UK. It is not intended to complement the existing DAC Principles on Aid Evaluation.
