Dominica: Final Evaluation - Hurricane Maria Operation (Dominica)

Evaluation Purpose and Scope

The IFRC is committed to quality assurance, standards and a culture of lesson learning in its disaster response. This final evaluation aims to improve service delivery and accountability to beneficiaries, donors and other stakeholders and to build lessons for the improvement of the IFRC disaster response system.
The final evaluation will look at lessons learned, but also provide support to recovery planning and any recommendations for adjustments for the upcoming operational responses in the region.
The final evaluation will evaluate the following areas:

• the relevance and appropriateness of delivery of humanitarian assistance to beneficiaries based on needs and context.
• the efficiency and effectiveness of the IFRC response, including coordination with key partners and external actors aimed at optimizing the response.
• the coverage in terms of which population groups were included in or excluded from the intervention. Special attention will be given by the evaluators to the extent the response has considered and addressed the needs of vulnerable groups and in particular women, girls and boys and people living with a disability.
• the connectedness ensuring that short-term emergency activities are implemented taking longer-term and interconnected factors into account
• The Relevance and efficiency of the coordination mechanisms implemented.

The final evaluation will review what worked well, what requires improvement, taking into consideration the context and capacities of the National Society and other Movement components.
The evaluation will cover the periods of the responses in Dominica with a duration of 18 months from September 2017 to March 2019.
