Support to Internally Displaced Persons - Learning from Evaluations, Synthesis Report of a Joint Evaluation Programme

This synthesis report represents the final stage of a collaborative evalu- ation exercise on the theme of donor support to Internally Displaced Persons. The process began in mid 2003 and involved seven donor or- ganisations (Danida, Sida, Netherlands MFA, ECHO, USAID, DFID and Development Cooperation Ireland) and three UN agencies/entities (UNHCR, OCHA and WFP). To help guide the evaluations undertaken as part of the exercise a Common Framework document was prepared. In all the collaborative exercise generated, or included, eleven evaluation reports. (Refer to Section 1). To complement this ‘core set’ another six studies were included in the set used for this synthesis.
