How do we know if our humanitarian efforts are successful? How do we know if we made a difference? Did we help to save lives and alleviate suffering? Did we do so in the best way possible? The evaluation of humanitarian action is one important way of finding out.
Evaluation practice in humanitarian settings faces two broad sets of challenges: those that are common to all evaluations, often accentuated in humanitarian contexts, and those that relate specifically to evaluating humanitarian action, often in difficult and volatile environments.
Based on ALNAP’s Evaluation of Humanitarian Action Guide, the training session will provide an overview of key concepts and outline the specific challenges in evaluating humanitarian action and how these can be mitigated.
The session will offer a mixture of theory and interactive exercises. It is the first of two training sessions offered by CEI in partnership with ALNAP.
