Typhoon Haiyan (locally called Yolanda) made landfall in the central Philippines Visayas region on the 8th of November 2013. It caused widespread loss of life and destruction of communities and livelihoods. CAFOD’s emergency response to Typhoon Haiyan was implemented through partners. CAFOD believes partnership fosters greater solidarity with people, is more effective in defining and delivering development in an appropriate and ethical way, and is more likely to result in longer-term sustainability, enabling people to tackle issues of poverty and giving them access to the power to change their own lives.
This evaluation focuses on the partnership aspects of CAFOD’s Typhoon Haiyan emergency response: nature and effectiveness of the partnership; who were the partners; how were they selected; how did the partnership change over time; and what were the results. A key output is learning and recommendations: what worked well in terms of the partnership; its contribution to the emergency response, and why; and what could have been better, and how? Overall, did the partnership contribute specifically to the overall emergency response provided by the individual partners? Did CAFOD’s partnership approach contribute to delivering its emergency strategy and framework and fulfilling international quality criteria?
Overall Evaluation Aims:
- Assess how CAFOD’s partnership approach supported partners to effectively deliver projects that place people and communities in the centre.
- Assess the extent to which the programme has met key themes identified within its strategy and framework.
