  1. The Tsunami Evaluation Coalition

  2. The Tsunami Evaluation Coalition (TEC) January 2005: Several agencies discussed with ALNAP how to coordinate a tsunami evaluation effort to maximise learning while minimising duplication. February 2005: An ensuing meeting in Geneva led to the foundation of the TEC (guided by a CMG; hosted by ALNAP).

  3. What are the TEC’s objectives? • Level 1 Purpose • To promote a sector wide approach to evaluations of tsunami response in order to optimise sector wide learning. • Level 2 Purpose • To develop and validate procedures for future establishment of such a coordination mechanism.

  4. Who is in it? • As with ALNAP the TEC includes: • Bilateral Donors • UN agencies • NGOs and the Red Cross Movement

  5. Type of participation? • First level: • Individual agency evaluations (reports for synthesis). • Sharing ToRs and lessons (Online Forum: www.alnap.org/tec). • Evaluation map: who, what, where, when. Second level: • Working together on five joint thematic evaluations (cross-cutting for all). • Reducing number of agency evaluations (eg, OCHA, WHO, UNDP). • Commitment to follow up on findings. Joint evaluations Managing Thematic Evaluations Steering Thematic Evaluations Supporting Thematic Evaluations

  6. Five joint thematic evaluations • Coordination (incl civil-military issues) • Impact on local and national capacities • Needs assessments • Linking relief, rehabilitation and development (LRRD) • Funding study • Each thematic evaluation is financed by a series of bilateral donors, UN agencies, and - in some cases - NGOs and the Red Cross.
