Universalia recently completed the Real-Time Evaluation of UNICEF’s Humanitarian Response to the Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. This mandate is based on an assessment of the first four months of the response, based on field visits, interviews with key informants, discussions with community stakeholders, documentary review, online survey and analysis. Its purpose is to draw conclusions and make recommendations for the on-going response and to identify wider lessons for UNICEF with regard to future large-scale emergency responses. In keeping with the corporate nature of UNICEF’s response, the RTE was managed by the Evaluation Office and undertaken between February and June 2014 by James Darcy (Team Leader) Enrico Leonardi (Senior Consultant), Patrick Robitaille (Senior Consultant), Maiden Monzanal (National Consultant) and Jérôme Gandin (Researcher).
