Course Manual Introduction

This manual was prepared for a training session on the Evaluation of Humanitarian Action (EHA), facilitated by Ms Margie Buchanan-Smith, and Mr John Telford and held in Belgium in 2007. It can be used or adapted for other courses.

The training is at introductory-to-intermediate level, with the following aims:

  • To make evaluations of humanitarian assistance more effective in contributing to improved performance.
  • To improve the quality of evaluation processes.

The learning objectives of the course are to achieve:

  • Greater clarity of the purpose and objectives of EHA, and of the principal challenges of doing EHA.
  • Better understanding of evaluation criteria and of the most relevant frameworks against which humanitarian assistance should be evaluated.
  • A practical approach to planning, designing, implementing and following through on evaluations of humanitarian action.
This training is aimed at evaluators, managers and users of evaluation. It presents an opportunity for learning and exchange between participants from different backgrounds and who play different roles. This 3-day training programme has been developed drawing on a variety of sources, principally the three e ALNAP EHA training modules.
