Couverture de l’ouvrage Enhancing Disaster and Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Through Evaluation
The first priniciple of humanitarian assistance is "do no harm." The second might be, "do better!" Enter the evaluation of emergency and disaster management. This issue consolidates reflections from evaluation practices in disaster and emergency management. A number of important themes are addressed: OL {list–style:disc}P:{margin–left 60px} systemic assessment of needs interagency coordiantion evaluation of responses in real time evaluation in international and national jurisdictions Chapters discuss where the evaluation of humanitarian practice and emergency and disaster management currently stands, and where it should be going. Our humanitarian impulse, as in the aftermaths of the Rwandan genocide, Hurricane Katrina, the Indian Ocean tsunami, and the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, is an enduring quality. The route from donor to affected population is long and varied. When sudden, unprecedented needs are juxtaposed with expectional levels of charitable responses, the question is whether the responses were good enough. Did supply meet demand? Was it the right thing? Was it done well? Who received support? Was it appropriate? Was the timing right? Can it be improved? All are questions for evaluation. For populations traumatized by disaster, the answers have consequences for protection, for restoration of individual and community efficacy, and ultimately for hope and dignity. This is the 126th volume of the volume of the Jossey–Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Evaluation , an official publication of the American Evaluation Association.
EDITORS′NOTES ( Liesel Ashley Ritchie, Wayne MacDonald ). 1. Enhancing Disaster and Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Through Evaluation ( Liesel Ashley Ritchie, Wayne MacDonald ) This chapter presents a multidimensional framework as a foundation for dialogue and consideration of critical issues associated with evaluation of disaster and emergency preparedness, response, and recovery activities. 2. Real–Time Evaluation in Humanitarian Emergencies ( Emery Brusset, John Cosgrave, Wayne MacDonaldi) This chapter examines real–time evaluation (RTE) as formative evaluation and as a disaster management tool. Linkages to existing methods are made, and the utility and effectiveness of RTE in the international context of intra– and interagency efforts are discussed. 3. The Interagency Health and Nutrition Evaluation Initiative in Humanitarian Crises: Moving From Single–Agency to Joint, Sectorwide Evaluations ( Olga Bornemisza, André Griekspoor, Nadine Ezard, Egbert Sondorp ) The Interagency Health and Nutrition Evaluation (IHE) initiative was established in 2003 as part of the growing international momentum for interagency or joint evaluations of humanitarian response. This chapter outlines the efforts of this initiative, discusses lessons learned, and identifies options for institutionalizing IHEs. 4. Save the Children′s Approach to Emergency Evaluation and Learning: Evolution in Policy and Practice ( Megan Steinke–Chase, Danielle Tranzilloi) The humanitarian assistance sector has developed globally from a state of spontaneous and disjointed approaches, striving to be more deliberate, coordinated, and accountable. This chapter explores Save the Children′s advances in emergency evaluation, and discusses efforts to internalize sector standards, ensure participation of affected populations, strengthen coordination across the sector, and increase impact measurement of emergency response. 5. Logic Modeling as a Tool to Prepare to Evaluate Disaster and Emergency Prep
