Final report expected: 2024

Following the activation of the system-wide Scale-Up Protocols (an inter-agency mobilisation mechanism in response to a sudden onset and/or rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation) in April 2021, HERE has been contracted by OCHA on behalf of the Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation Steering Group to undertake the Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation of the collective response to the crisis in Northern Ethiopia. IAHEs evaluate the extent to which planned collective results have been achieved and help the humanitarian community to improve aid effectiveness to ultimately better assist affected people. IAHEs are independent assessments of the collective humanitarian response to the crisis, not an in-depth evaluation of any one sector or of the performance of a specific organisation. They are automatically triggered within 9 to 12 months following Scale-Up Activation.
