Evaluation of CARE Myanmar's Cyclone Nargis Response

Objectives: To assess the quality and accountability of CARE Myanmar’s response to the cyclone, using relevant OECD-DAC evaluation criteria, CARE/mm’s Emergency Strategies and CARE’s draft Humanitarian Accountability Framework (HAF) as primary points of reference; to assess the extent to which the objectives of individual donor funded projects and programmes were met, taking account of the challenges of presenting individual donor funded projects in what is essentially a programme requiring a “pool” of resources; to develop lessons learned and recommendations that will assist CARE Myanmar to build disaster risk management and strengthen emergency preparedness capacities to better help communities better cope with risk. Recommendations from relevant analysis will be developed both for CARE Myanmar’s ongoing long-term programming and as key inputs into CARE Myanmar’s Emergency Preparedness Planning (EPP) to enable more timely and appropriate response to disasters and crises in the future.

Criteria: Efficiency, Impact, Sustainability, Connectedness, Timeliness, Coverage, Appropriateness
