UNICEF commissioned this desk study with the objective of identifying key lessons on real-time evaluation (RTE) through drawing from the experience of other agencies and organisations in this area. The findings are intended to provide the basis for UNICEF to develop and test a real-time review or evaluation methodology as a component of its evaluation system. A number of real-time evaluations were examined from seven humanitarian agencies and interviews carried out with more than 20 individuals with experience of RTE.
