Global Emergency Group (GEG) and Centre for Humanitarian Change (CHC) conducted a Real Time Evaluation of UNICEF’s drought response in Kenya with the overall purpose of strengthening both UNICEF’s current and future programming based on real-time feedback and learning. This evaluation focused primarily on WASH, Nutrition and Health in the drought affected counties of Garissa, Tana River, Marsabit, Mandera, Turkana, and Kilifi. The RTE considered the extent to which the lessons learned were applied from the 2011 IASC RTE of the Humanitarian Response to the Horn of Africa Drought Crisis.
The primary purpose of this RTE is to inform and directly influence UNICEF’s ongoing WASH, nutrition and health response in the drought affected areas of Kenya with an emphasis on operational decision-making and effective collective learning. While the RTE primarily addresses the learning aspect, it also provides an important accountability tool (a) to supported communities by assessing the appropriateness, timeliness and relevance of the intervention, and (b) to donors by considering the timely release of funds.
More specifically, the evaluation focused on the following OECD-DAC criteria for evaluation:
• Criteria 1 – Relevance/Appropriateness of the response and accountability to affected communities;
• Criteria 2 - Timeliness of action;
• Criteria 3 - Sustainability/Connectedness of the response to the development agenda.
