Report of the Inter-agency Humanitarian Evaluation (IAHE) of the Response to the Crisis in South Sudan
Overview
IAHEs are part of the HPC, an element of the Transformative Agenda, an initiative
taken by the IASC in 2011 to improve inter-agency humanitarian action. The IAHE is a critical
examination of results designed to inform management decisions. The process is “intended to
promote collective accountability and system-wide strategic learning” through “an external,
independent assessment of a collective humanitarian response”.
The HC and the HCT are the primary users of IAHEs, which provide information about progress made towards objectives, as well as relevant information for planning and decision-making. IAHEs are expected to promote accountability and lesson learning across the entire humanitarian system.
The IAHE in South Sudan, which was triggered by the declaration of an L3 emergency on
11 February 2014, has the following two purposes:
Purpose 1: To provide an independent assessment of the extent to which planned and relevant
collective objectives set in the SRP were met.
Purpose 2: To assess the extent to which response mechanisms, including the HPC and other key
pillars of the Transformative Agenda, supported the response, and to recommend improvement-orientated actions.
These purposes are achieved by addressing the four evaluation questions:
a. To what extent are the SRP objectives appropriate and relevant to meeting the humanitarian needs? Have systems been established to measure their achievement? To what extent have the 2014 results been achieved, and what were both the positive and potentially negative outcomes for people affected by the disaster?
b. To what extent have national and local stakeholders been involved and their capacities strengthened through the response?
c. Was the assistance well coordinated, and did it successfully avoid duplication and fill gaps?
What contextual factors help explain the results or lack thereof?
d. To what extent were IASC core humanitarian programming principles and guidance applied?
