To assess the value for money and effectiveness of DFID’s humanitarian
emergency response in the Horn of Africa, from early warning to the transition to
longer-term development.

We will specifically focus on:

  • the linkage between early warning, early action and longer-term preventative interventions;
  • how intended beneficiaries’ needs were identified;
  • the effectiveness of supply chain management to meet these needs;
  • DFID’s role in leadership and co-ordination of aid and evidence of innovation;
    and
  • how DFID has applied learning from previous interventions in the Horn of
    Africa and what it has learned to help build resilience and prevent future
    emergencies.
