Evaluating Humanitarian Action using the OECD-DAC Criteria

This clearly-written guide provides practical support on how to use the OECD Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC) criteria in evaluation of humanitarian action (EHA). It covers the following areas:

1. key themes and issues current in EHA, particularly lesson-learning, accountability and evaluation;

3. very brief guidelines for good practice in methods for the evaluation of humanitarian action.

This short book provides the clearest definitions of the DAC evaluation criteria available anywhere.
