Multisectoral evaluations

Contribute to multisectoral response review & evaluation

In most of the emergency responses, there are no requirement from OCHA regarding multisectorial response evaluations: they are implemented based on request from Humanitarian Coordinator's. However, in the specific case of a System Wide Scale-up Activation (former L3 emergencies), two main evaluation requirements are imposed by the Inter Agency Steering Committee (IASC):

• Operational Peer Review. It is an evaluation carried out internally by UN officials 3 months after the begining of the response, aiming at supporting or reorienting the multisectoral strategy. It is an interagency process, light, brief and collaborative. It is looking forward on how to improve current response. They can be associated to Real Time Evaluation, although methodology may differ.
• Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation (IAHE). IAHE are independent assessments of results of the collective humanitarian response carried out by member organizations of the IASC in a specific crisis.  IAHE focus on accountability and strategic learning for the humanitarian system. They are usually implemented 12 to 15 months after an system wide scale-up activation

The WASH coordination platform is not directly involved in this process, but will be requested to contribute and provide information, as the other sectors'coordination platform
