Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the implementation of quarantine measures worldwide, including travel restrictions, hence impacting WFP programmes and evaluations. In some cases, stakeholders’ information/ evidence needs may change due to the evolving interventions in response to the crisis, which might lead to changes in the evaluation scope and key evaluation questions. Furthermore, in many countries, evaluations cannot for the time being rely on field missions and face-to-face interviews, affecting methodology and data collection options. Data collection and any related evaluation activities involving direct person-to-person contact should follow host governments directives and guidelines.
