5-year Evaluation of the Central Emergency Response Fund Annexes Final Synthesis Report

Pursuant to General Assembly Resolution A/RES/63/139, an independent evaluation must be
commissioned by the Secretary General. As specified by the General Assembly, the evaluation will serve as a “comprehensive review of the activities of the CERF, including the ability to meet
its objectives, its administration, the needs assessment process and criteria for resource
allocations, at the end of its fifth year of operations…” A report based on the findings from the
evaluation will be presented at the 65th session of the General Assembly in the fall of 2011.
