Evaluation of DG ECHO's Response to the Humanitarian Crises in Sudan and South Sudan (2011-2015)

This independent evaluation covers the 2011-2015 support provided by the European Commission (ECHO) in relation to the humanitarian crises in Sudan and South Sudan.

The evaluation found that the support was very relevant and flexible. The support targeted the most vulnerable groups, and was mostly in alignment with European Commission policies. The support in terms of coordination, logistics and humanitarian advocacy contributed to the delivery of results, which also benefitted the wider humanitarian community. ECHO's strong stance on humanitarian principles is applauded, but also poses challenges with regard to access to crisis affected people.
