Inter-agency real-time Evaluation in Haiti: 3 months after the earthquake

The Inter-Agency Standing Committee held a real-time evaluation (RTE) of the response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake that included three phases, the first of which was implemented between April and May 2010. The three-week country mission included workshops with key stakeholders, in-depth data analysis, and debriefings in Port-au-Prince. The process of gathering information and recording local people’s perceptions was carried out as rigorously as possible on the basis of a typology of different sites and zones via semi-structured face-to-face interviews and focus groups. The fieldwork was followed by a series of debriefings and additional data collection exercises in New York, Geneva, and London.
