OCHA: Evaluation of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
Overview
The mandate of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is to ensure the timely, coherent, coordinated and principled response of the international community to disasters and emergencies and to facilitate the transition from emergency relief to rehabilitation and sustainable development. OCHA has five core mandated functions, namely, coordination, policy, humanitarian financing, information management and advocacy.
The present evaluation by the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) of the advocacy role of OCHA from 2013-2016 was guided by evaluation questions in the following areas:
(a) Relevance. Extent to which advocacy work was aligned with the mandate and specific advocacy needs;
(b) Effectiveness. Extent of the effects of advocacy efforts on knowledge and attitudes conducive to humanitarian goals and action;
(c) Efficiency. Extent to which human and financial resources and other inputs were managed to maximize the benefits of advocacy efforts;
(d) Cross-cutting issues. Extent to which OCHA advocacy incorporated humanitarian principles and cross-cutting issues relating to gender and human rights.
