The overall purpose of this evaluation was to:
• Assess the overall impact of member agency interventions that were funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the Humanitarian Coalition.
• Confirm findings of the RTE conducted jointly with the Disasters Emergency Committee in October-November 2011 and to evaluate to what extent lessons or recommendations from the RTE have been taken into account and applied to programming.
• Assess gender dynamics of program impacts and how gender was factored in all areas of the crisis response.
• Document a comparative analysis of best practices in cash-transfer programming in affected communities, and the appropriateness of cash as a response.
