Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation of the COVID-19 Humanitarian Response

Author: Inter-Agency Standing Committee

The Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation (IAHE) of the COVID-19 Humanitarian Response seeks to assess the collective preparedness and response of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) member agencies at the global, regional, and country-level in meeting the humanitarian needs of people in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has three objectives:

1. Determine the extent to which the IASC member agencies’ collective preparedness and response actions, including its existing and adapted special measures, were relevant to addressing humanitarian needs in the context of the pandemic.

2. Assess the results achieved from these actions at the global, regional and country levels in support of people, and with governments and local actors.

3. Identify best practices, opportunities and lessons learnt that will help to improve ongoing and future humanitarian responses, including through wider and accelerated adaptation of certain humanitarian policies, approaches, and practices.
