The Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone is the longest, largest, deadliest, most complex and challenging Ebola outbreak in history, claiming the lives of at least 11,310 people.

Following the detection of Ebola outbreak in Guinea in March2014, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) launched an operation that gradually expanded in scale and scope, and was followed by a recovery phase which has ended in Liberia and will continue up to June 2018 in Sierra Leone.

The IFRC EVD intervention final evaluation intended to evaluate the impact of the appeal for Ebola response in the three countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. It is expected that findings, key lessons learnt and recommendations from the evaluation will guide the IFRC, partner National Societies of Liberia and Sierra Leone in future programming as well as in Africa region. The evaluation was implemented in Sierra Leone and Liberia and the field work took place between 18th November and 7th December 2017.
