As part of the DEC’s evaluation of the Philippines disaster response, it has piloted a new evaluation method called “Contribution to Change”. Developed by Oxfam and the University of East Anglia, this is the first time the Contribution to Change (CtC) method has been used to assess a disaster response across a network of organisations. Rather than singling out any one DEC member agency, or looking to see whether an agency’s planned outcomes were met, it instead establishes the overall collective contribution of humanitarian aid to the recovery of the affected population. CtC will give the DEC agencies an in-depth and unbiased report on how their work helped selected Filipino communities recover from the disaster of Typhoon Haiyan.

The full evaluation report is available on ALNAP’s website (http://www.alnap.org/resources/contribution-to-change-philippines).
