Evaluating the Haiti Response

Interesting commentary on DAP here: http://talesfromethehood.wordpress.com/2010/07/16/the-illusion-of-understanding/

I am an independent consultant working with the ALNAP team on a mapping and analysis of evaluations of the Haiti earthquake response. The study is looking to build on the Haiti Earthquake Response: Context Analysis, using the draft evaluation framework presented in the paper to map and analyse past, ongoing and planned evaluations of the response.

I would like to invite you to share terms of reference, reports and any other information or materials related to evaluations of the Haiti earthquake response by posting them in this forum. These will appear on ALNAP's Haiti Learning and Accountability Portal.

We hope to see a 'Haiti virtual evaluation community of practice' emerge as a result of this work, bringing together a group of interested stakeholders involved in evaluations on a regular basis to:
(a) update each other on evaluation plans;
(b) discuss potential areas where resources could be shared; and
(c) discuss key operational and conceptual issues including utilisation of evaluation findings.

I look forward to working with you to build our community of practice towards a common goal: a humanitarian community that understands, reflects on and uses its experience to improve our performance - in Haiti and in future emergencies.
