TOWARDS IMPROVED EMERGENCY RESPONSES Synthesis of UNICEF Evaluations of Humanitarian Action 2010 – 2016
Overview
The overall aim of this synthesis is to determine factors supporting or constraining relevant, effective, efficient, connected, coherent, and well-coordinated humanitarian action, drawing on evaluation reports and other evaluative documents within the context of UNICEF’s humanitarian work; and identifying lessons learned and applied by UNICEF. The synthesis is intended to foster discussions on major issues emerging from the analysis, and to provide a summary of evaluation evidence concerning UNICEF’s recent humanitarian action, and related policies, systems and practice. The synthesis also highlights success factors and constraints in programming in these contexts, identifying gaps in the evaluative work, and suggesting areas for further enquiry.
The synthesis provides:
• An overview of UNICEF’s EHA reports and related materials at all levels of the Organization, including their number, focus, coverage, themes, quality; level of investment in EHA compared to appropriate benchmarks, and compared to other humanitarian organizations and UNICEF’s own risk profile.
• A gap analysis of where further inquiry is required, identifying areas/sectors with little or no EHA data concerning the impact of UNICEF’s programming for children and women as per its core mandate, or of its fulfilment of its role as Cluster Lead Agency.
• A contextual overview providing an indication of key events and trends relevant to the analysis, both within UNICEF and externally;
• A synthesis of recurrent findings, issues, themes on how UNICEF has performed against its own corporate commitments, standards and stated objectives (in terms of the modified DAC/ALNAP criteria for EHA); identifying factors that contributed to success and those that constrained UNICEF’s efforts; the key lessons that UNICEF learned about its humanitarian action through the evaluations; and a few recommendations on enhancing UNICEF’s humanitarian action.
