Tearfund was selected as one of four DEC Member Agencies to commission and publish an independent evaluation of the DEC funded Phase 2 Philippines response. The evaluation is a means of accountability to the British Public who generously gave through the DEC Appeal, and aims to examine the impact, relevance and cost effectiveness of Tearfund’s Phase 2 response. The goal was to “Assess the contribution that Tearfund and Medair’s Phase 2 projects have made in promoting people’s recovery and building resilience in affected communities.” The projects focused on shelter, WASH, livelihoods and DRR.
