Evaluation of Germany’s Humanitarian Assistance Abroad
Description: For the first time Germany undertook a comprehensive assessment of its Humanitarian Assistance abroad. For this effort the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Federal Foreign Office jointly undertook a number of preparatory studies (also partly executed by Channel Research) and this two year multi-country evaluation. Channel Research in collaboration with AGEG employed a core team of three consultants and eight international and local consultants for the six country-cases studies. The team worked for more than 700 working days, organised more than 10 workshops in the field and in Germany, and produced more than 10 comprehensive reports. The main topics were interface management between the two ministries, coordination and complementarity with interventions by other donors, especially the EU and UN organisations, appropriateness of the financing channels and linking up emergency relief, emergency and transitional aid, reconstruction and development cooperation (LRRD). The report has contributed to many discussions around the re-organisation of the German humanitarian assistance sector. Some members of the team have been mandated to continue advising the German government in improving its systems.
