The purpose of this evaluation is to (i) evaluate UNICEF’s response in this specific humanitarian context, including multi-sectoral provision of services and aid, as well as coordination role, and (ii) to draw lessons learned for application in future emergencies and capacity building of UNICEF Haiti, where appropriate. Secondly, the evaluation is also intended to strengthen accountability and transparency to UNICEF’s partners and donors.
The evaluation will be formative in nature with the primary aim to identify strengths and weaknesses in UNICEF response. The specific objectives were to:
.Assess the extent to which the preparedness activities have fed into the Hurricane Matthew emergency response
.Take stock of the emergency response for the onset of the crisis to transition and recovery, highlighting the appropriateness, efficiency and effectiveness of the response
.Assess both the positive and negative sides of UNICEF response
.Identify what are the long lasting effect of UNICEF’s response
.Identify lessons learned and develop recommendations on each separate phase of the response (preparedness, emergency, transition/recovery)
.Facilitate learning and strengthen UNICEF Haiti’s accountability and transparency towards partners and donors
The three main expected audience are :
1. UNICEF staff who are directly or indirectly involved in this emergency – including those at the field, national, regional and headquarters levels – who will use the results of this evaluation to fine-tune and calibrate UNICEF’s humanitarian efforts.
2. UNICEF staff faced with similar emergencies in the future who may choose to use this evaluation as a reference document and use the results to inform their own strategies.
3. UNICEF donors and implementing partners, both governmental and non-governmental, and beneficiaries, as a mechanism to strengthen accountability and transparency.
