The evaluation, commissioned by the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO), with support from the WHO Evaluation Office, assessed WHO’s emergency response in Syria due to the conflict from 2016-2020, including its strategy, interventions, operations, performance and results, as well as its engagement and coordination with partners toward these same ends. It included operations conducted through the main office in Damascus and sub-offices within Syria, cross border operations from Gaziantep, previous cross-border work from Erbil and Amman, Whole of Syria Health Cluster coordination from Amman, and support and coordination with EMRO, the Regional Office for Europe and headquarters. It generated comprehensive learning on WHO’s operations and performance in Syria, whilst informing WHO’s humanitarian work in emergency contexts elsewhere, the policy and practice of WHO Health Emergencies Programme, and the 13th General Programme of Work (GPW13).
