This is an evaluation of UNHCR’s response to the Level 3 emergency in Ethiopia during the period 2021–2022. With a view to supporting learning and accountability, the evaluation provides a comprehensive assessment and recommendations aimed at strengthening UNHCR’s Ethiopia country operation and informing corporate policies and practices for emergency response.
The evaluation focuses on UNHCR’s L3 response from May 2021 to June 2022 in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray, Afar and Amhara regions. It is primarily concerned with UNHCR’s operations during the humanitarian emergency, including inter-agency activities, internal processes and the “whole-of-UNHCR” response required when an L3 emergency is declared.
