The focus of this evaluation is on the effectiveness of Tearfund’s support for partners in achieving the goal of its strategy in Myanmar. It is not an evaluation of partners’ work. At the same time an assessment of what was achieved on the ground has to be done. This evaluation provides evidence of the effectiveness or otherwise of Tearfund’s support in terms of its impact on beneficiaries and partners. The strategy goal was: ‘the recovery of the cyclone-affected communities within southern Myanmar by 2011 with the purpose of supporting partners to address the immediate crisis and the recovery needs of people affected by Cyclone Nargis and assist in rebuilding of communities that are more resilient to disasters.’
