NORCAP Response To The Nepal 2015 Earthquake

This independent evaluation provides an opportunity to learn from NORCAP’s response to the 2015 Nepal earthquake, including the value-added of using deployments when compared to other types of interventions. This evaluation covers selected NRC/NORCAP deployments to United Nations (UN) organisations and the International Organisation of Migration (IOM) in Nepal between 25 April 2015, the date of the earthquake, and 31 December 2015. The main users of the results of this evaluation are staff in the Expert Deployment/NORCAP department to inform their planning and programming for future similar interventions. It is expected that this evaluation will also be useful for the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), as a major supporter of NORCAP, and to standby partner focal points in host agencies.
