The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the outcomes and impacts of the
UNICEF response
(between 2005 and 2008) to the Indian Ocean tsunami in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and
Maldives, and to draw lessons and recommendations for strengthening the ongoing
development work in those countries. In addition, the evaluation draws lessons
and recommendations related to strengthening recovery and transition
programming for wider use by UNICEF, governments and their partners.
Other evaluations have been conducted in the intervening years, yet this report
seeks to understand the overall impact of the UNICEF tsunami response by
focusing mainly on the recovery phase to the early development phase. In terms
of sectoral focus, the evaluation has covered the following areas:
Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH): reconstruction and construction of water
supply facilities including through water treatment plans; and provision of
sanitation facilities and hygiene related behaviour change communication.
Basic education: provision for basic education (school construction, teacher
training, school supplies); and access to quality child-friendly schools (CFSs)
and curriculum.
Child protection: legal protection and development; and psychosocial care and
support; monitoring and reporting of child rights’ violations.
Child and maternal health and nutrition: immunization; early child care and
development; prevention of HIV/AIDS amongst mothers and children; health system
improvement; and micronutrients.
