Evaluation of humanitarian action (EHA) has evolved over the past 30 years to meet the demands for accountability and learning in humanitarian action. This paper provides a brief overview of the history of EHA, and common challenges for evaluation practitioners, including those that have arisen with the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper draws from two M&E Skills-Building Workshops for entry and mid-level humanitarian evaluation practitioners, hosted by ALNAP in February and March 2021.
