UNHCR’s Approach to Evaluating the COVID-19 Response for Refugees and other Persons of Concern
Format
CONTEXT
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the response of States and the role of international cooperation and assistance will be subject to cross-cutting thematic and institutionally focused evaluations globally during 2021-22. The Global Evaluation Coalition, facilitated by OECD DAC Evaluation Network (EvalNet), brings together OECD members development assistance evaluation units, with those of partner countries and UN system organizations in an effort to reduce the evaluative footprint and harmonize evaluation and synthesis work where practical.
Within the UN system, in addition to individual organizational COVID-19 response evaluations, three main COVID-19 response evaluations are planned: the Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation (IAHE) of the Global Humanitarian Response Plan (GHRP) led by OCHA; an evaluation of the Response and Recovery Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF)
