The overall purpose of this evaluation is to appraise the progress of the IFRC in taking up a leadership role in the provision of emergency shelter, as defined by the decision of the 15th GA and subsequent MoU, and the impact of its shelter commitment.

The evaluation team reviewed key reports and documents by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), IFRC, National Societies and the Shelter Cluster, and respective websites. In addition, the team elicited the views of more than 60 individuals from around the world, including staff of National Societies, the Secretariat, delegations, and external partner agencies.
