The present study is part of ALNAP's ongoing efforts to strengthen the contribution of learning and evaluation to the management of humanitarian programmes. It is included in the theme “Making the Evaluation Process More Effective”, which is one of the three themes within the ALNAP workplan for the period April 2000 to March 2002. This study is funded by AusAID.

The objectives of the study as formulated in the Terms of Reference are: • Assess current practice in the way commissioning organisations (and where relevant their partner organisations) use and follow-up the findings and recommendations of evaluations of humanitarian assistance and the extent to which this differs from evaluations of development assistance. • Analyse factors that contribute to good practice and those that contribute to unsatisfactory practice. • Indicate ways in which ALNAP and other organisations might help to improve follow-up to evaluations of humanitarian assistance programmes, and the focus of further studies that ALNAP might undertake in this area.
