On behalf of the Federal Foreign Office (AA) and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), German humanitarian assistance abroad has been subjected to an interministerial, independent evaluation for the first time ever. The objective of the evaluation was to undertake an independent, comprehensive analysis and assessment of Germany’s humanitarian assistance abroad (not including humanitarian mine clearance) in order to gain insights which can be used for management purposes by the two ministries concerned. Another use for the information acquired was accountability towards parliament.
