Evaluating humanitarian action

This article draws heavily on the draft "Guidance for Evaluation Managers" which will be published by the DAC Working Party on Aid Evaluation in 1999 and on a report on the findings of a AusAid supported workshop at the National Centre for Development Studies, Australian National University, Canberra, March 1998 (Apthorpe and Neville 1998), in both of which the author of this article has been involved. Thanks are extended to the authors of those papers.
