Evaluation criteria | 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. |
