This report is an evaluation of the Consortium of British Humanitarian Agencies. This evaluation specifically covers the activities of the CBHA under the initial grant of £8 million from DFID over the period 2010-2012, it does not cover the activities carried out under two separate grants of £1 million1 and of £20 million by some members in Pakistan.
This is an unusual evaluation report, in that it combines the findings of two separate evaluations. The first of these was an evaluation of the CBHA capacity building component by an independent capacity building specialist2. The capacity building element accounted for twenty per cent of the overall CBHA budget. The second was an evaluation of the overall CBHA carried out by two independent humanitarian evaluators. This evaluation focused on the other four elements of the CBHA, but took the findings of the capacity building evaluation into account. This report summarises both evaluations.
