Evaluation of the Level 3 Response to the Cholera Epidemic in Yemen: A Crisis within a Crisis
Overview
The purpose of the current evaluation is three-fold:
(i) To inform the current and future UNICEF response in Yemen by providing an evaluative analysis of the UNICEF response to the 2017 cholera/AWD epidemic, within the overall context of the Yemen conflict, the epidemiology of the 2017 outbreak, and the wider system response to that outbreak. The intention is that lessons should be identified from this analysis that can help inform current and future responses, and specifically to provide a set of actionable recommendations to strengthen the organization’s response to the current and potential future cholera outbreaks in Yemen. This is particularly pressing given very real prospect of further outbreaks from spring 2018, and thus the intention has been to provide real-time feedback from the evaluation as it progresses. The interim report mentioned above is part of that ‘real-time’ process.
(ii) To provide a (limited) basis for accountability in respect of the 2017 UNICEF response. The evaluation includes an analysis of what UNICEF did, when and where; whether the response was timely, appropriate and effective; and what were the key internal and external enabling and constraining factors. This includes a judgement of UNICEF performance overall, and some related analysis of its key management and other functions. However, the limited scope of this evaluation means that a fuller analysis of internal UNICEF functions and processes as they relate to the Yemen emergency programme is not included.
(iii) To add to the organization’s wider institutional learning from its responses to cholera and other recent infectious disease outbreaks. As compared to a ‘standard’ evaluation, this report is in some respects a more technical review. It attempts to locate the Yemen response in the wider context of cholera prevention, preparedness and response, and should thereby have wider relevance for the organization’s approach to cholera globally
