Evaluation of the relief phase of the IFRC 2010 Pakistan monsoon flash floods operation

The 2010 Pakistan floods response encompassed complex conditions, affecting a significant part of the country and stretching the resources of many civil society actors. This has been a challenge for all humanitarian actors. Its effects are still being felt and the operation is still ongoing, albeit in the recovery phase. The IFRC believes it is important to provide a management response to acknowledge other opinions and factors that were referenced in correspondence to the report. The report and the response should be read together to get a comprehensive picture of the findings, as well as work that is already being undertaken in addressing the issues and recommendations raised in this report. We welcome most of the evaluation report’s specific recommendations. Many of them have already been implemented or are in process. Those involved in the operation were given opportunities to review this evaluation report and provide input, feedback and corrections.
