The Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation (IAHE) is an independent assessment of the preparedness and response of Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) members to the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2022. It is the first-ever evaluation of the IASC humanitarian response to infectious disease events and to a global response. The evaluation provides feedback on the humanitarian response to COVID-19, identifies best practices and lessons learned, and highlights strategic and policy challenges and opportunities to improve responses to global crises in the future.
The global evaluation includes eight case studies (Bangladesh, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Philippines, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Syria, and Turkey). The evaluation also includes two learning papers that provide a more in-depth analysis of two specific issues associated with the response Lessons Learned on Global Humanitarian Response Plan and Localization in the COVID-19 response.
The purpose of the briefing is to inform IASC staff on the key findings and recommendations of the IAHE COVID-19 and discuss actions needed to ensure that the IASC and its partners are better prepared to respond to the next pandemic.
