The purpose of this learning review is to document lessons learned from the UNOCHA CwC project in response to Typhoon Bopha. The review aims to document what happened, the enabling and impeding factors affecting the project, and to ascertain whether key informants perceived there to be an added value to CwC activities undertaken and coordinated within the wider humanitarian response.
It also aims to identify examples of good practice and capture lessons on what worked well, what did not work well, and what tools and processes could be developed to facilitate a more effective response in the future. The review also examines UNOCHA’s remit and where CwC work might fit within its current mandate and in the wider humanitarian system.
