Annex 6 Evaluation criteria through a disability-inclusive lens

Evaluation criteria 243 Definition Example of disability-related considerations
Appropriateness, relevance The extent to which humanitarian activities are tailored to local needs, thereby increasing ownership, accountability and costeffectiveness. Adaptations made to improve accessibility; persons with disabilities participate in design and implementation.
Effectiveness, timeliness The degree to which an activity achieves its purpose; whether it does so within an appropriate time frame. Persons with disabilities have access; they perceive positive benefits.
Efficiency, costeffectiveness Expected qualitative and quantitative outputs are achieved from inputs; alternative outputs would not achieve the same result at lower cost. Accessibility is addressed from the start, improving cost-effectiveness.
Impact Measures the wider social, economic, technical and environmental effects of an intervention. Includes results that are intended, unintended, positive, negative, macro (sector) and micro (household). Whether persons with disabilities benefit equally; whether persons with disabilities experienced unintended impacts.
Connectedness The extent to which activities of a short-term emergency nature take into account the local context and longer-term concerns. Impacts on the inclusiveness of national/local services. Whether local/national systems providing assistive technology, inclusive education, etc., are strengthened; whether OPDs build capacity.
Coverage The extent to which major population groups facing life-threatening events were reached. Levels of access for persons with disabilities.
Coherence The extent to which policies are consistent and consider humanitarian and human rights. The extent to which humanitarian action complies with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
Coordination The extent to which the interventions of different actors are harmonized to promote synergy and avoid gaps, duplications and resource conflicts. Level of engagement by OPDs and other disability actors in the humanitarian response; quality of coordination.
Protection The extent to which affected populations are protected from violence, abuse, exploitation and other harms, taking into account their rights and capacities. The extent to which risks faced by persons with disabilities are identified, removed or mitigated.
