 This report looks at the first phase of the emergency response to cyclone Nargis by ActionAid Myanmar. It starts by putting the evaluation in context. Here the report highlights the strong emphasis placed on the planning and monitoring of the overall humanitarian response and on participation by communities both in the humanitarian response and for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).

Following this, the evaluation framework is made explicit. The focus is to examine the extent to which ActionAid Myanmar managed to achieve participation and DRR in its interventions through the approaches used (namely participatory techniques, Participatory Vulnerability Analysis, partnerships, fellowships and psychosocial work). In addition, the evaluation will also check firstly the capacity of the organisational systems to respond to the task, and secondly the extent to which the work reached out to different levels of society
