Disasters Emergency Committee - East Africa Response Review: South Sudan

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) commissioned a review of response by its members to the East Africa crisis since the appeal’s launch on 15 March 2017. The overarching purpose of this review was to provide an overview of the DEC Members’ response so far, as well as, draw initial lessons and identify priority areas for Phase 2 that will start from October 2017. The review covered Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan where funds raised by the appeal were being spent. Of the thirteen members, ten are responding in South Sudan utilising DEC funds. This report covers the South Sudan country study, data collection for which was carried out during June-July.

The review utilised a mixed-methods approach, using quantitative and qualitative data gathered from a carefully selected range of sources. Overall performance was assessed using the following criteria: Relevance and appropriateness, Coverage, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Connectedness and coherence.
