The Global Emergency Group conducted a comprehensive evaluation of UNICEF Supply Division (SD) Emergency Response and Preparedness. The evaluation includes key findings, conclusions and recommendations that address two main purposes. Firstly, the evaluation should inform the refinement of the Emergency Supply Response Strategy (ESRS) and related activities within SD based on an assessment of past performance. Secondly, the findings should feed into SD’s contribution to UNICEF’s Strengthening Humanitarian Action initiative. More specifically, the four objectives of this evaluation are:
• Take stock of past changes since the 2007 Supply Function Evaluation, map emergency response systems, processes and capabilities in place in the supply chain as it pertains to emergency response.
• Assess past Supply Division performance of emergency preparedness and response, particularly examining effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance of Supply Division’s support to humanitarian action.
• Provide recommendations for Supply Division to strengthen current investments and systems in emergency and give guidance to revising its strategy, internal processes and organization, and specific tools.
• Distil generalizable lessons that can be used in future emergencies and influence direction for UNICEF’s engagement in humanitarian action.
