OCHA Evaluations Synthesis Report, 2010

OCHA evaluations serve the dual purpose of accountability for performance and results
and learning to inform policy discussions and strategic decisions of OCHA’s senior
management, as well as of other stakeholders. Individual evaluations inform on specific
issues, activities or areas of work, with the aim of contributing to improved performance
and organizational learning.
 

With the present report, however, OCHA aims to go beyond the individual accountability
and learning of a single evaluation. The analysis here presented takes into account all of
what has been achieved, discerned and learnt in each of the evaluations conducted in
OCHA during 2010, and outlines those recurring issues and common themes identified as
repeatedly affecting the effective delivery of humanitarian assistance.
