This evaluation was completed in response to a request by the European Commission Humanitarian Of fice (ECHO), to assess to what degree humanitarian operations approved after the hurricane Mitch, brought about significant relief to the target population and also contributed, among other things, to strengthen coping capacities to that same population. This report provides the findings on the emergency aid ECHO committed to the four Central American countries (Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala). Project sites of 37 operations were visited in order to assess the impact reached.
