In a protracted process such as this, there is a clear benefit to beginning a Country Case Study Report by reprising the heart and soul of the exercise as a whole, namely the Objectives and Key Areas of the evaluation. Therefore, as per the TOR, the Objectives of the evaluation are to:
• Provide an independent assessment of the contribution of ERFs to the humanitarian community’s ability to address critical unforeseen humanitarian needs in a timely and effective manner;
• Examine the contribution of ERFs to strengthening the leadership of Humanitarian Coordinators, coordination role of the cluster system, and building partnerships (in particular with national and local NGOs);
• Examine the role of the elements of OCHA that plan, administer and report on ERFs, map the progress made since 2009 in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of ERFs, and identify the areas of internal strengths and weaknesses.
