The Program, “Typhoon Haiyan Response,” is a three-year (November 2013 - December 2016) initiative implemented by CARE in the Philippines. It supports the emergency relief and recovery of people affected by Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013. The evaluation focused on the livelihood recovery assistance program during the early to medium-term recovery phases. Emergency sectors such as food and shelter and non-food items have been adequately covered in previous assessments and evaluations. The evaluations found that over 50'000 men and women used cash grants to jump start quick-impact IGAs or to expand and diversify livelihoods. Business confidence amongst participating women rose from 31.5% in June 2016 to 80% in Dec 2016 while their monthly average income multiplid by 10 times in the same priode. 80% of the participants were able to (re-)establish (new) market linkages.
