The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has undertaken the present strategic evaluation to take stock of its experience in complex emergency situations and extract insights to improve the organization’s capacity to respond. The terms of reference (TOR) for the exercise identified the reintegration of internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and ex-combatants as the principal area of focus. The evaluation team was asked to review the adequacy of UNDP interventions and assess the quality of its response to reintegration programmes in terms of being proactive or event/donor driven, staffing, and ability to form effective partnerships.
