In March 2014, a rapidly evolving outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) started in Guinea and spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone, as well as other countries in West Africa. Concern had existing long term programmes in the region since the mid-90s and as a result of the Ebola outbreak they started a wide ranging response.


The focus of the External Evaluation was the Concern Worldwide DEC funded Ebola Response Programme in Sierra Leone, consisting of an emergency and recovery phase, starting 29 Oct 2014 and due to complete by 31 Oct 2016.
