OCHA commissioned this evaluation of the 18 Country-Based Pooled Funds (CBPFs) that it managed between January 2015 and December 2018, in partnership with six CBPF donors. OCHA is committed to evaluating the CBPFs every three years and this is the first evaluation since they were standardized globally in a 2015 Policy Instruction and Operational Handbook. The evaluation will examine how CBPFs have performed against their strategic objectives and principles, as per the 2015 OCHA CBPF Policy Instruction. The evaluation will also assesses how CBPFs have performed against the three expected outcomes and the five principles of inclusiveness, flexibility, timeliness, efficiency, and accountability and risk management, in order to lead to the overall operational impact of CBPFs, i.e., the provision of timely, coordinated, principled assistance to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain human dignity. The scope of the evaluation is global, covering all 18 CBPFs that were in operation during the evaluation timeframe. In addition, case studies will review the funds in five specific country contexts – Somalia, South Sudan, Iraq, occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and Afghanistan – in greater detail.
